At LA tank, we tolerate all the kids using the HL tanks with mako boards because its the Military Museum gimmick to host the battles. Its annoying when kids with HL shermans and panzers can kill the **** out of all the Tamiya clark and IBU tanks on the field and only loose one or two. Yes the Mako boards more or less pick up and score every 5 to 10 hits.
We just play for fun and ignore the fact that we loose before we start.
