Agreed, I was critical of the Tamiya game play until I went to Danville. Seeing the teamwork and a skill used by the players to take advantage of what I had considered short comings of the Tamiya system, made me rethink my opinion. Simple to configure, and fun to play meant more time on the battle field. At an event like Danville with all the tankers present, you get a real feel of how hard it would be to manage IR game play if it was much more complex then what Tamiya presents . I love the Clark options as it is so customizable, but how on earth do you go about verifying settings to ensure everyone is on a level playing field???? I guess you could globally program tanks on the bench??? Not sure but would it be possible to line up 10 Shermans in a group and universally set all of them with one programming device??? If this is possible then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. I just don't know as I have never been exposed to a field full of Clark equipped tanks and the verification process used to ensure some consistency on the field?


Regardless going to Danville and seeing the tactics employed and the fun being had, caused me to form a new opinion of some of the things I was critical of.
