Surprised nobody else caught this! However, today is the Anniversary of the first tanks entering combat! |

Heard it on NPR this morning…on the BBC News Hour actually. They even featured some recorded interviews one from a tank driver and one from a member of the opposition. Quite fascinating really. |

The tank is dead. Long live the tank. |

Noticed when World of Tanks did a promotion. They've come a long way and yet, in a way, the basics are remarkably similar :) |

Tanks for the memories !!!! |

Listening to the BBC program was a treat. In some ways things have advanced so much, yet in others, still much the same. THREADHEADS!!!!! |

Yes, no matter what, you still have to replace track shoes and repair broken tracks. In the rain …  |

Thanks Nashville. Like the article. |

Not if you pick the "right theater" for combat, I suspect, Legion. |

What if their original code name wasn't "tank", but, let's say was "butterfly" instead…. |

Mako, wheel replacement, track bashing and pack changes can only be carried out in the rain or snow, it is the law! Tally Ho! |

Wasn't GW1 the biggest tank battle in history? |

I don't think so … I think maybe Arab-Israeli War in '73 ? Nope … I should have gone with my first choice – Kursk !! Arab-Israeli '73 only came in 7th, out of the top 10 Big Tank Battles, according to this link Which sounds pretty darn accurate to me … |

I wish we could pick the theater ! But regardless, it's either too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too many rocks, too muddy, too much snow, too much sand, too many streams and rivers, etc., etc. ! The best place is in the Motor Pool inside a covered bay. But that does not always happen … sadly …

Mako,
wheel replacement, track bashing and pack changes can only be carried out in the rain or snow, it is the law! Tally Ho! It sure seemed like that ! |
