You point to Griselda. “Regina, Iris. Go to her.” They both nod, quickly moving on over. “Patton, uh, we could probably discuss American armor some other time?” Patton nods, brushing her skirt down happily as she awaits her turn. “And as for you, Winona-“

“I’m already texting them that you have a boyfriend.” Winona, please. “His name is Oliver.” Winona, PLEASE. “And he’s a big strong man, who’s strong, loud, fast, and delightfully British!” PLEASE, WINONA. She holds up her phone.

“I swear to God, if you send that, I will kill you,” you say.

“Aw, it’s fine!” She raises the text, smiling smugly. You roll your eyes. Honestly.

With the Q&A done, you and your crew are exploring around the Spectator fair. Seeing as how this is stateside, a lot of people have come around, probably from nearby cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and all others in the New England area. “Alright.” Winona rubs her hands, taking a deep breath. “We’re the boss, we’re the boss, we’re the boss, we’re the boss right here!”

“Nervous?” asks Stack as she chews into some pink fluffy cotton candy.

“No, hell no!” says Winona. “I just gotta psyche myself up a bit!” She bounces in place, pressing her lips together. “Yeeee, we’re gonna do this! We’re gonna do this!”

Ingrid says, “You look nervous.” Winona turns her nose away from Ingrid haughtily. “Just saying.”

Josephina taps your shoulder, getting your attention. “Elodie. Is that who I think it is?” All five of you turn your eyes to see.

Standing at one of the booths, dressed in a gray bomber jacket topped with the Heinlein crest on the sleeve, mixed with a white blouse and black shorts is a tanned girl with black wavy hair. She matches the photo alright. She folds her arms, waiting for her turn at one of the Fair’s attractions, an airgun range. “Yep,” you say. “Dix Hauser.”

“Huh, smaller than I expected,” says Stack.

“You’re one to talk,” says Ingrid. Stack nudges her, silencing Ingrid.

As she waits, she turns her head, then sees the five of you standing there like a bunch of idiots. “Well, howdy!” she says happily. She waves you all over. “I’ve seen ya before!” She holds out her hand to you. “I’m Dix. You and me are fighting this afternoon. Y’all look pretty sharp in those uniforms of yours, compared to mine.” She tugs on the leg of her shorts, exposing a bit of her thighs. “I’d honestly prefer those skirts, way more airy. So what’s up with y’all? I wanna know more about you in particular uh…" She seems to have trouble remembering your name. "... Melody? Am I close?"

“Elodie,” you correct her gently. “My name is Elodie, Dix. So, yeah, you were close.”

“Ah!” She thumps her head with her fist, sticking her tongue out. “My bad, Elodie! But yeah, listen, I’ve caught wind of your accomplishments, even hear that Griselda is having a good time too. Actually, Griselda is partially why I’m here.”

“What, really?” you ask. Really? What did Griselda do?

“I was in Middle School last year, saw Griselda on the big screen duking it out in the ITL. She had some rough starts I think, but I think she’s a good commander.” She tugs your sleeve brings you closer, smirking at you. “Between you and me, I’m actually kind of honored to be facing a Pool. It’s not often you get to do this kind of stuff in Tankery. Don’t tell her I said that.”

“Noted,” you say. You look to your crew. “Oh, um, this is my crew. Winona.” Winona smiles, nodding. “Ingrid, Stack.” Ingrid and Stack nod as well, smiling politely. “And Josephina.” Josephina as well nods, towering completely over Dix.

“Wow!” Dix looks up at Josephina, making her blush intensely and look away. “You’re a big unit!”

“U- um, th- merci?” says Josephina confusedly.

Dix folds her arms. “Well, it’s nice to see you, Elodie. Tell Griselda I look forward to facing her.” Dix checks her watch, and her eyes widen. “Aw, nuts. I gotta check in with some of my crews. Have some fun before the match, alright?” She bounces past the lot of you. “The tanks are gonna be real sad if y’all are sad, that’s how it goes!” And with that, she jogs away.

Winona nudges you. “So, you’re the boss. Where do you want to go?”

Which reminds me which is stronger? A 75mm American or a 6 pounder British?

>>47236189
The 6 Pndr (57mm) is actually stronger in the armor-penetrating capability. The American 75mm M3 was designed for more all around HE and AP capability, which the 6 Pndr does not have (HE rounds were kind of meh in lower calibers.)

>>47236189
Well, a 6 pounder is something like 57mm, so theoretically the 75mm.
However, the 6pdr was primarily an AT gun while the 75mm was, iirc, a primarily HE-firing cannon.

So basically, Elodie's cannon has more force when firing, but Griselda's is a bit larger and fires more... explosively.

“Aw, lookitthelittlegoat!” Winona and even Ingrid are mesmerized by the fair’s own little Panzer Pets. They petted the little beast on its hairy little head as it chewed on some grass. All that was really getting to you though was the smell. Jesus fucking Christ it smelled like something died and got shat out the end of an elephant in this petting zoo. How do children stand this!? “Heee! He’s chewing on grass, what a little numpty!”

Stack and Josephina however were busy playing around with a pig rolling around in dirt. Stack especially was taking it kind of… “Stack!” you call. “Y- you don’t need to roll around in the mud with the pig!”

“Aw, don’t be such a buzzkill!” Stack wipes some mud off of her face, grinning happily. Her uniform, everything on her looks dreadful.

“Stack-“ Ugh, you’ll just get her a new uniform before the match starts. You check your watch.

Oh shit, it starts in an hour.

“Elodie!” You look over to see Denise rolling towards the petting zoo fence in her Kettenkrad. Oh, salvation, thank you. You run on over, leaning on the fence towards her. “Elodie! I made it to your match!” She gives you a thumbs up. “Hehe!” She looks over to see your crew busy dirtying themselves up by playing with animals. “What’s with the-“

A cow moos as it comes towards you. “Er- that’s- let’s not talk about it.” You hear it chewing loudly in your ear as it breathes over your shoulder. Um. A little privacy?

“Well, I just wanted to say Good luck and have fun, or as they say in the Starcraft scene uh…” She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a phone. “… GL, HF!”

You meet at the stage. Instead of a big railway gun carriage serving as the big screen TV, a more dedicated platform for a variety of TVs was built for the Tankery matches in North America. You six commanders of LGA stand across from the twenty that will be facing you.

Dix nods to you all. “Good luck, y’all! You’ll need it!”

Pffft, you’ll need it. You examine the map once more. Route 15 is a big chokepoint. Only real way around it is either over the big rises (not an option for the Pershings, at least not in timely fashion) or all the way around to the river. Both will be impractical, unless Dix proves herself to be patient.

Against the Italians maybe, but with the German Panzer III and even short barrel 75mm Panzer IVs were more then a match for it. Especially the 2 pounder variants.

If your tank had to be replaced with america's stopgap (M3 Lee/Grant) and British crews enjoyed them more then tanks made by the motherland then you know it's not all that.

The Lee was a good tank though. Not the best, but a perfectly acceptable tank until the US could get the flaws with the M4 ironed out.

>>47237578
Based on the huge ridge, you'd think the Pershing would be decent bait, right? Forgive my ignorance, I can be convinced by a different option, if people explain it.
>Pershing

>>47237643
It was but I'm just saying that British tank development especially their cruiser branch was not very good, at least the early variants and your saying it held the line it Africa.

It didn't. The M3 Lee/Grant, and the Lend Lease Shermans did..

The Crusader was just a beating stick for the Italians.

>>47237653
We're acting as bait the Pershng is relatively slow, iirc compared to the Cromwell. We just need a hit a run to lure the tanks into the ridge.

>>47237683
In defense of British tank development, I'm going to point out that the Churchill tank was actually a perfectly serviceable tank in North Africa. It even scored the first kill against a Tiger I in the western front. In all other situations, it performed admirably as well.

File: Valentine IX.png (4 KB, 250x109)

4 KB PNG

>>47237683
It was though, anon. The Crusader (and its other marks including the Coventer and pic related) were an important part of British tank development.

So, best guess, they'll lead with the Legendary Jumbo so our Ambush doesn't work.

However, if we were to use our Gunners perk to score a mobility kill when the point is at its chokeiest....

>>47237752
Well, we do have that nice skill that Winona has, maybe we'll see some use out of it today.

>>47237785

Yeah, thats what I meant

>>47237728
Yeah, but i didn't say anything bad about the Infantry branch of tank development, only cruiser.

The Churchill, was an Infantry tank not a Cruiser tank.

Also kill is debatable, it was more disabled then knocked out, since none of the rounds actually penetrated and only disabled the turret of the tiger iirc.

>>47237733

it's important sure (your shifting the goal posts), to show what not to do when developing a tank, (being slightly hyperbolic) However, it is true that Cruisers didn't held the line it was the Infantry tanks that held North Africa.

Crusaders (at least the early variants) and other early cruisers, were so-so or not very good.

Even the Coventer that you mentioned was never really used other then test trials. Is it important for British tank development, sure. But was it a good tank, not really considering the opposition.

“We’ll take the middle road and draw them in as best we can. Everyone know the plan?” you ask.

“Yep!” says everyone.

“Good. Let’s roll.” Your tank starts rolling up Route 15. “Josephina, cruise speed, I want to be able to stop on a dime.”

“Oui!” she reports. You look down into the turret to see her leaning to the left to accommodate her somewhat excessive height. You motion to Ingrid, who leans over and lifts up her driver’s hatch. “Oh, merci beaucoup, Ingrid!”

Stack readies an AP round between her arms. “Oh boy, being the bait!” Stack grins madly, bouncing in her seat. “Oh boy, oh boy, I love being the bait! We’ll bait them and outsmart them! Haha!” Winona as well bites her lip, ready in the gunner’s seat.

“Take us in cautiously now,” you declare. Oliver starts slowing down, his tracks clattering to a creeping pace. You lean on the back of the turret hatch, while Stack pokes her head out of the loader’s hatch, grinning happily. “Hey, who said you could turn out?”

“I can’t wait!” Stack bounces up and down. Ugh, you can’t contain that enthusiasm.

“This is Serafina!” You look back down the road. “Me and the IS-2 are in position at the end of Route 15!”

We can;t run, we have to buy time.

We should use smoke to hide how many tanks there are.

>>47238480
why the leading tank, this is not the position where we want to trap them.

I'm off to bed. Don't fuck up, anons.

>>47238652
They're still in a relatively open area so they can still move around the disabled tank.

Our team isn't in position yet so a quick shot to slow them down seems appropriate.

>>47238683
yeah but smoke or standing your ground will do something well.

>>47238785
Smoke doesn't really stop them and standing our ground against all that seems unwise.

“Winona, hit them! Hit them hard!” The Six-Pounder fires. The shot disintegrates against the coaxial machine gun port of the lead Pershing, sending it rolling forward to a stop. The other tanks immediately plow and ram into the back of it, clueless of its status. “There’s our window, run, run, run!” The tank reverses back around the corner, then pivots around. “A little hustle, Josephina!”

“I am trying!” she shouts. Once the tank is facing south, she immediately floors it and speeds Oliver down the route.

“How’s everyone?” you ask. “Please tell me you guys are in position!”

“The Churchill has arrived. Panzer III is still climbing.”

“We’re still moving up the mountain, but you should be able to get a decent ambush set up!” says Griselda. Okay, okay, some things are going right.

But you can’t help but be a little suspicious. There’s no way Dix would actually run all of her tanks into one area. Unless she plans on smashing you through sheer numbers alone.

And in different directions. Oh Jesus, please don’t let that be a thing.

Definitely a possibility, but I expect the most focus west, they have to cross Susquehanna to really get any purchase east, and that'll take a lot of time, unless of course they just say fuck roads and just ride the ridge until they hit Armstrong.

> Rally east with the Sherman

“Griselda, we’re going to link up with you! Josephina, take a left onto Armstrong road now!” The Cromwell starts skidding to a halt, and you hear a very worrying grinding noise. The tank vibrates beneath you as it suddenly screeches to a halt to make this sharp left turn. “… what was that?”

Stack nudges your leg, and you look down at her. “That was the suspension! Remember what Oleg said, it’s still pretty fragile even with all the improvements!” Ugh, when is that gonna get fixed! Hell, at least if you didn’t improve it you might’ve thrown the track altogether. And nobody wants that. With a left turn, you start riding up the high road up the mountain towards Griselda’s position. You pull out your binoculars, and look north northwest.

And coming into view coming around the corner are four Pershings, in a flying V-formation down the road, followed by the Shermans. The Pershings turn their turrets up as you climb up the road. “Hug the ridge, Josephina!” She bears right, right as the Pershing’s start firing at you. Shots splat against the rocky ridge, shooting some debris down on your tank. Nothing it can’t handle, nothing it can’t handle, please handle it, Oliver for God’s sake.

You take another look. You blink. That’s odd, you could’ve sworn the Chaffees were there when you saw them first.

Fuck, wait, they must be taking a different route! “Griselda, the Chaffees aren’t taking Route 15!” You take another look. “And I don’t see Cobra King either, they must be flanking!”

“I see it on the map, it’ll take them ages to get around, we can still beat them here!” says Griselda. “Iris, do you have a shot!?”

“We do, firing.” The Churchill on the west ridge fires down, nailing a Pershing in the side of its turret.

“First kill of the day,” says Iris.

The Pershing’s hulking wreck slows to a crawl, forcing the other tanks to slow down in the chokepoint.

But to your surprise, they start reversing and form a strange form of defensive line, kind of like chevrons or a zipper. They cover their engine blocks with each other’s, and angle their frontal armor at a slant relative southwards instead of directly facing either side. “Oh fuck, they were ready for this!” says Griselda.

“We’re moving in!” says Serafina.

Especially if we break their chain of command.

>>47239544
Tricky thing is, there is only one commander in that pile, I agree that it's probably better to take the shots, but the Chafee's aren't there and I think the Scott's aren't either. I already voted intuition, buuuuuuuut.

>>47239569
You do raise an excellent point. They likely won't run, but when we have to because of the flank, we can try to stun the rear, at least, that's my thoughts on the matter. Never know what Intuition will do.

Ah, well that is my bad then. I came into this quest around the Gagetown battle.

If you want added insight, then I guess I can join the chorus on focusing on what rears and commanders there are.

>>47239627
But we can still knock out their rear, shouldn't we take them out and box them in so we can just worry about the chaffes/

Shooting the rear tank doesn't magically make them incapable of moving. Just slows them down.

>>47239759
yeah but trying to maneuver in reverse will be a lot harder if their are knocked out tanks in the way.

Remember all of these girls are freshmen save for the commander leading this formation. Take the commander out and take out the rear tanks should make them panic to more or less of a standstill.

>>47237581
Go read The Tank War by Mark Urban. Most of the Crusader crews liked the tank, though admittedly just as many liked the American Stuarts and Grants. The main thing crews hated where the earlier Cruisers I-IV, which broke down constantly, were uncomfortable as fuck and were generally terrible.

“Serafina, stay where you are!” you order.

“Oh. Okay, uh… we’ll stay here then,” she says awkwardly.

“Winona, do you have a bead on Dix’s tank?” you ask.

“Ah, all the Easy Eights look the same!” she says.

“Then fire at all of them!” The tank shakes as it fires down the ridge at one of the Shermans. This time, you manage a killing on one of the Easy Eights.

> KO: SGT. “DEE DEE” KASPEROFF (M4A3E8 Sherman)
> KILL CREDITED TO: ELODIE ZUMWALT (CROMWELL III)

“Woo! We got one!” she yells.

Griselda, Iris, and eventually Suvorov as well depress their guns and fire down too. Suvorov’s shot bounces off the front of a Jumbo tank, but Iris’s and Griselda’s find their mark.

Iris had actually managed to nail the Easy Eight bringing up the rear, for all intents and purposes trapping them down there.

But still, there were quite a few of them, and that meant they could still return fire. One of them, an M45 Pershing fires a Howitzer shot upwards at you. The shot explodes between you and Griselda, shaking the tank to the side and sending everyone out of their seats. The concussive blast makes the metal creak and groan. “Agh! My head!” Josephina rubs her head, groaning in pain.

Ingrid lays in her seat. “Ugh…”

One of the Jumbo Shermans as well fires, sending a shot which splices across Griselda’s tracks and shatters them.

> MOBILITY KILL: GRISELDA POOL (M4 Sherman)

“FUCK!” yells Griselda. “Hold on, we gotta repair!”

The other tanks as well fire back at the Churchill and the Panzer III. The Panzer III wisely takes cover behind the crest of the ridge, and no shots thankfully manage to penetrate the Churchill. Though there were some worrying near-misses from the remaining Pershings.

Still, if your intuition is right, those Chaffees are somewhere. They’ll probably be southwest on Skyline by now in fact!

If Gris-Gris is mobility killed, I dunno if obscuring their vision with smoke will help much - not like they need to change their aim.

We just have to get behind the ridge. So long as pull that off we'll be ok.

Shit, there aren't any rules on swapping crew are there? Tell Griselda's driver to get in OUR tank and get both of us outta here!

Tell the poles and navy team to blast the ridge where the chaffees are going to be coming up. Get the Churchill and Pz3 outta there before they get rear ended.

“Iris, Suvorov, start retreating! The Chaffees and the Scotts are gonna be closing in on you soon!”

“Copy!” says Iris. “Surovov, keep your tank behind me!” You see the two tanks retreat over the crest.

“Serafina, Regina, you two cover their retreat! We have to keep as many people alive as possible!”

“Got it! Finally! Let’s go!” You look left to see the Pershing and the IS-2.

“NAVAL STUDIES TO THE RESCUE!” yells Taney. You roll your eyes. Ugh. That’s just-

Suddenly, the Sherman is uppercut by a 76mm round to the turret. The white flag pops out.

“Well, fuck,” says Griselda.

Goddamn it! You thump your fist against the top of the turret. Suddenly, you see the tanks pop out of their ambush formation. The Pershings start continuing down the road, while the Shermans start moving up the ridge towards you. Ah fuck. “Wait!” You look down at Winona. “That E8! That’s the last one! Fire at it now!”

Winona fires her shot at the only E8 in the group, and this time, it doesn’t miss. The shot bounces on the mantlet, right into the top armor.

Alright, you now have a lot of angry tanks still advancing on you. But hopefully the heavy tanks will still be safe. In fact your intuition tells you they should be-

“They’re right on top of us!” You hear a lot of cannon fire out in the distance. “It’s no good! They’re outrunning our turret traverses!” yells Iris.

Tell Iris to back up while Suvorov moves forward through the Scotts and Chaffees, they can then target each other's attackers with substantially more ease. And tell the Poles and Catalina Jockeys to get a move on.

“Fire smoke!” Smoke is fired off, masking your escape as you start retreating south down the ridge towards your tanks. “Uh, Suvorov! You know Napoleonic stuff, right!?”

“Yeah, I-“ She gasps. “I got it! We gotta form an infantry square! Iris, I’ll cover you, head back down to the road with Serafina and Regina! Lock yourselves up into a square with your engine blocks in the center!”

“What about you!?” you ask.

“We’ll buy you all some time! There’s no way they’ll escape with these Chaffees chasing us! Do svidaniya!”

You hurry down the hill, and you pull up your binoculars to see the Panzer III trying to herd the Chaffees away from a fleeing Churchill with some amount of success, pulling them away. The Churchill manages to reach the road where the Pershing and the IS-2 are busy locking themselves into a square, trying to cover up their engine blocks with each other’s tanks.

The Panzer III fires a blind shot, which actually manages a hit.

> KO: SGT. “BLAST” HARDING (M8 Scott “Alabama”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: “SUVOROV” (Panzer III Ausf. J)

But at the cost of its own life. A Chaffee fires a shot which slams into it’s engine block, setting it on fire.

> KO: “SUVOROV” (Panzer III Ausf. J)
> KILL CREDITED TO: CPL. “LEGS” SMITH (M24 Chaffee)

The Churchill, the Pershing, and the IS-2 are now locked in a square, with only one element missing from it.

Two more commanders, but damn things are looking bleak.

>>47241070
It's also worth nothing that the Scotts and Chaffees have lower velocity weapons than ours (a 6 pounder AP round outpaces a M5 75mm's by 200m/s and the Howitzer is way slower), making it marginally harder for them to hit fast moving targets. Speed is our friend here.

“Serafina, Regina, Iris, hold back the Pershings and the Shermans.” You look past them to see the Pershing pushing the corpse of one of its compatriots out of the way as it busts out of the pass. “I’ll screen you and keep the Chaffees from plinking at your sides!”

“Got it!” says Serafina. “Let them have it!” The guns of the heavies fire away at the incoming tanks from Route 15. And when that happens, one manages to sneak its way through the frontal armor of one tank.

> KO: CPL. “AUNTIE DOT” MURDOCH (M26 Pershing “San Quentin”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: SERAFINA MACZEK (M26 Pershing)

“Scratch one! We’ll win this yet-“ A shot plows right into the turret ring of the Pershing, causing a fire to erupt inside the crew compartment. “Oh, we got a fire, nevermind!”

> KO: SERAFINA MACZEK (M26 Pershing)
> KILL CREDITED TO: CPL. “BUTTERCUP” YELICH (M26 Pershing “Atlanta”)

The other tanks start spilling out of the pass, forming up a skirmish line slowly. They don’t intend to get too close, as not to incur the wrath of the surprisingly lethal 57mm 6-Pounder gun.

Meanwhile, you’re running circles around the Square, trying to keep the Chaffees away. They fire away at you, missing every shot so far. Ha!

Suddenly, coming up from behind the Chaffees is a very surprising sight, a Jumbo not only keeping pace, but slowly outrunning them. Painted on the side is the name “COBRA KING”. It creeps up through the formation and fires a shot at you. You duck, nearly missing the shot taking off your head. That was close! You duck down in for good measure.

The Chaffees split off, intending to skirmish and pick at the sorry-looking square of heavy tanks.

That just left you with a very angry Cobra King to deal with.

>>47241856
Well I wish we stayed as a proper square and shot them to bits as they came in, seems like they're just going to rush at us.

Tell the other 2 to put their backs against the Pershing and make a last stand.

>>47241811
If the remainder of the square holds we should pick a Napoleonic unit badge to paint on the sides of their turrets.

Any chance we could come out on top in this one, lads? 2 to 1 doesn't exactly seem tenable right now.

>>47241988
It could be done. Long odds though.

>>47241988
We've still got to two British Tanks left, which means our upper lip stiffness will increase exponentially at this point, so we should be fine regardless of odds.

>>47241856
That seems okay as an option. Frankly, I am stumped as to what we can do, aside from taking a targeted shot at the Cobra.

>>47241988
Look at it this way, the goal is to keep it close now. Lets try and pull a win. If not, lets make it close.

>>47241988
The real question is whether the IS-2's crew have started cursing in Russian yet.

> CHARGE HIM
> TARGET WEAKPOINT: - 10 CP

“Winona, turn the turret around!” Josephina swings the tank left. You hear a very worrying grinding noise from the suspension. The turret whirs as she sweeps the turret to the rear. Cobra King fires again, this time missing again, but only by a few inches. “Fire, fire!” The shot goes straight at Cobra King, and despite all that heavy front armor and heavy turret armor, it smashes into the turret ring and disintegrates. Cobra King careens out of control, stunned. “There, there! Pull it around, we can charge them!”

Josephina grinds the tank to a stop, scraping the treads across the ground and spitting up mud up into the air. She reverses and pulls a very quick J-turn, facing the tank towards the stunned Cobra King! “Alright, Winona, now, fire!” She fires again, unfortunately the shot plinks off the turret face. “Damn it!”

“It’s a Jumbo!” yells Stack. “And we’re using standard AP rounds! There’s no way we’re going through that!” Not at this range.

“Get closer!”

As this happens, the Chaffees and the Scotts start circling around the square of heavy tanks. The IS-2 and the Churchill have adjusted to use the Pershing as a shield against the incoming Shermans and enemy Pershings. Iris fires a shot, which manages a hit against a Chaffee. It spins out of control and flips onto its side, burning.

> KO: CPL. “REX” GAGE (M24 Chaffee)
> KILL CREDITED TO: IRIS BLACKBOURNE (Churchill IV)

The IS-2 meanwhile. “NAVAL STUDIES RESCUE DOES NOT CONDONE USE OF TWO-PIECE AMMUNITION!” They fire, which flies wildly past the charging line of Shermans and Pershings. One of the Pershings fires back at the IS-2. This time silencing it for good

A TOG would be a godsend, but if we might be stuck with them in the Churchill for awhile.

Maybe we can upgrade them to something within the Churchill frame--like, say, the Black Prince or upgrade the frame to the Churchill VII?

>>47242380
It's the IS-2m, the 1944 model (which is sometimes referred to as IS-2m. I refer to it now as the IS-2m because it's much easier to refer to it as such rather than IS-2 Model 1944.)

But on the KT--it's gonna cost us a relative fortune to get it back up to operational status, I'd figure. It's probably worth more as scrap metal right now than as a tank.

>>47242393
The Black Prince is a wholly different Chassis and the Churchill VII is substantially wider and with a different turret. So unlikely, short of basically buying one, though a BP wouldn't be a terrible fit for them. Best case scenario we could get them a Cent Proto, but those are probably all firmly in the hands of the Brit schoolships.

>>47242411
Clearly the numbers game is still too steep for an elimination game then. That or we're underestimating the other comanders. That and we're still a little green. As someone who voted fuck the square, that was a mistake and I own it. Guess we gotta roll up our socks and try and pull it off in the flag match. It will be the same numbers anyways. Only problem will be that its going to be the King Cobra as a flag, I am sure.

Guess we should prepare the clown makeup and pratfalls just in case though.

“Guys.” Winona peers through her periscope. “Do you see what’s going on outside?” You all poke your heads out of the tank.

And see Iris is still fighting. The Heinlein tanks are scattering, trying to slug it out, but are caught up by the wreckage of the IS-2 and Serafina’s Pershing. She’s still firing away. Another shot lands, tracking a speeding Scott but sending it flipping onto its side.

> KO: CPL “GRIZZLY” JENSON (M8 Scott)

One Chaffee tries to charge directly at the Churchill from behind. The turret traverses, attempting to beat it. Too late. The Chaffee fires, sending a shot right into the engine. But to everyone’s surprise it doesn’t die. Sure, there’s smoke, but it doesn’t die. The Churchill in response blasts the poor Chaffee to bits.

> KO: CPL “ROCK” MORGAN (M24 Chaffee)

“Come on, Iris!” yells Winona.

With all of the Chaffees gone and the remaining Scott ineffectual, she turns her turret around on the Pershings. Unfortunately for Iris, this may in fact be the end. They’re splitting up, a Pershing going around the rear backed up by a Jumbo, while the rest go around the front. All of them can penetrate the Churchill frontally.

But still, Iris puts up a fight. She fires, sending a shot straight through the side of the Pershings. The engine explodes.

> KO: CPL. “BLUE” JACKSON (M26 Pershing “Folsom”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: IRIS BLACKBOURNE (CHURCHILL IV)

And that’s all she wrote. They all fire away, slugging at the poor Churchill. Their shots rip apart the gun, shred the turret with dents and holes, and set the engine and ammunition on fire. The gun attempts to rise up, but depresses down in defeat. The white flag then pops up.

Still it made me wish to have just gone with the square. Have us provide smoke to give them time to take their shots and we might have had it.

Can we please just show a bit of unrestrained emotion at least once?

>>47242596

"We should be thanking Iris for at least lopsiding that KDR a bit."
What was the killstreak for five kills? The chopper? Where is our chopper? We could seriously use it right now.

The AVRE is also a meme.

The TOG is the finest DD in the Royal Armour Corp's arsenal thank you very much.

>Denise smiles. “That was a good performance today regardless, Elodie.”

>Polite
Now lets go have tea and scones with best girl.

Seriously, if i need to make an origami from NATO rulebook to give Iris and her crew a Chieftain i will do it in hearbeat.

>>47242596
Iris is getting all the goodies today! She deserves it!

>Neutral

>>47242641
That's Denise we're talking to Anon.

>>47242662
I am with you anon, but I don't think boasting after being soundly defeated helps the crew morale. I think it'll show. Lets wait until after we have an option that isn't the classic 3 options.

>>47242740
Haha, even if we broke every rule imaginable and bent the rest, we'd be lucky to even get a Conquerer in, let alone a Chieftain.

>>47242770
Maybe we should see if we can get them a Tortoise at very least. A Centurion will be nice too.
