right on, thanks!!!

one of the defining characteristics of a “tank” is the turret, this is true. but over the years the difanition of a “tank” has disolved, most people would see some armored machine of war and simply call it a tank. Armor, a big gun and some weels/treds and you got a tank, thats what it really comes down too now a days.

allthough the Jagpanther didnt have a turret it was one of the first " tanks" with if my memory serves me a reverse axel displacment set up, allowing the thing to pull a 180 in a shorter amount of time than most “tank” turrets took to rotate front to back.

this was just a “for the hell of it” deal. i had 13 47mm Type 1 Antitank guns, 5 Type 92 Machine-Gun Teams, and 3 Imperial Sergents (all Japenese, if you didnt all ready know) duke it out with 4 Jagdpanthers, 3 Tiger 1’s, and 8 Mauser Kar 98K’s.(all germans, once again if you didnt know) Can you guess who won?

something as simple as scotch tape works, the maps are pretty sturdy and can handle takeing the tape off with out ripping it. i have also made my own maps, more acurate maps i should say. i spent about 2 weeks building a “hedgerows” map. i havnt played it yet, but what ever force is not on the defensive is going to have a hell of a time moving. should be fun though.
to solve the laying down flat problem my buddy just cut all the maps up into smaller peicees that layed flat, this turned into a nightmare. the smaller map sections were to light, he sneezed and things just went everywhere, i thought it was funny.

yeah my first post!!!
