You walk to greet your crew, Nancy, Lisa, Ramirez, and your best good friend Kitten. They’re all decked out in the school’s greatcoats, bundled like truffles. The cold hits you like a fridge. You exhale sharply, your breath turning into vapor. “Christ, are we going through Antartica or something?”

Lisa says, “Well it’s particularly cold this fall near France, and it’s not really helped by the school being built stupidly high.”

You breathe into your hands. “Jeez. Whatever, let’s go.” You need to remind yourself to buy a nicer coat. Maybe a nice trenchcoat or peacoat, or perhaps one of those things that those girls in Kitten’s animes wear. You forget what it’s called but it looks nice.

You all head down to the street, and sure enough you see all kinds of students walking along, bundled in their nice coats. “Is it going to rain today?” you ask.

Nancy shakes her head. “Nope. Just gonna be cloudy and cold today, nothing to worry about.” She taps her chin. “Though, I suppose if we had a Hellcat, I’d feel sorry for anyone who’d be stuck crewing that.”

“I thought Hellcats weren’t Tankery legal. Aren’t they open-topped?”

Nancy says, “According to the ITL, they make exceptions for certain vehicles as long as the tank is properly converted in such that it doesn’t hamper or improve performance and which also has historical basis.” Nancy places her tongue in cheek, thinking. “I believe Walter Christie actually runs a business on conversions like that, not to mention other modifications and the like.”

Lisa says, “You’re really getting into this Tankery thing, Nancy. I’m impressed.”

“Oh, you think so?” Nancy places her hands on cheeks, beaming like a searchlight. “I must tell you! Studying tanks is becoming my new favorite hobby!”

Kitten says, “Speaking of which, Lisa,” Lisa looks back at Kitten, curious. Kitten asks her, “Do you happen to have a favorite tank?”

Lisa hums a little, thinking. “Oooh… tough one. I suppose the Panzer III. It’s a pretty decent medium tank.”

“Is it a medium tank?” you ask. “Doesn’t seem like it.”

Nancy says, “The Panzer III was actually originally designed to fight tanks, while the Panzer IV was the infantry support. It become the other way around when the IV was upgunned with the long barrel 75.”

You nod. “Ah, I see.”

You arrive at the school’s campus. All around, banners advertise the various sports team which have just been reopened this year. What shall you do?

You take a walk around with Nancy, admiring all the handmade signage for the Pep Rally. “Say, Nancy. How’s the Pep Rally tomorrow going to look? And why are we discussing it now instead of earlier?”

Nancy giggles a little at that. “Well, President. The Pep Rally’s going to advertise all of the new sports teams that Fredendall started up. Give everyone a bit of cheer you know? It’ll be out on the Sportsfield too.”

You purse your lips. “Hopefully it ain’t as cold as it is today.”

“Well, Fairless tells me we are scheduled to arrive in Cherbourg around… Saturday night I think.”

You nod. “Okay, sounds good. But back on the pep rally. What about us? How are we going to advertise?” You playfully box with the air. “Maybe drive the tanks in? Crash the party?”

Nancy smiles. “Well, I must be honest with you. The Senior Council didn’t uh…” her smile fades a bit. “They didn’t schedule us.”

“… huh?”

Nancy becomes all business, raising a finger in the air. “There’s 30 minutes for the pep rally. All time is allocated for every sports team such that they can introduce themselves.”

You cross your arms, frowning. “How many sports teams are there?”

“35.”

Your eye twitches. “Fredendall started 35 Sports teams just to knock us out of the Sports Warehouse?”

Nancy adds, “And assumedly leave us out of the pep rallies.”

You scratch your chin, thinking on it. You say, “Alright, Nancy. I suppose I’ll think of something. We need the student’s support after all.”

Nancy nods. “Of course!”

“What else is there, Nancy?”

Nancy says, “Well, Recall Election stuff, but it hasn’t been officially called yet. So I can’t really discuss much.”

“Of course. And I assume Lisa’s still scrounging for funds?”

“Of course,” Nancy says. “You know, if we make a good show at the pep rally, if we do, we might be able to bring in donations. And there is the issue of sponsorships as well.”

“Yeah,” you say. “Man,” you say as you scratch your head. “This business stuff is making my head hurt. No wonder I don’t take a business class.”

Nancy says, “You should, next year.”

“Yeah, maybe.” You check the time, about ten minutes before class. “So, Nancy, what’s your first class of the day?”

Nancy smiles. “AP History and Moral Philosophy.”

“… Isn’t that just a recruiting class?”

Nancy blushes a little, shrugging. “Well… it’s a class that doesn’t assign much homework, it’s mostly in-class writing…” Wait. That doesn’t sound hard at all. WAIT.

You gasp. “Nancy! You’re taking a filler class! Of all people!”

“W-Well,” Nancy flails her hands. “It- I mean, it’s not like anyone actually knows what goes on in that class?” ALARM. “OOH! TIME FOR CLASS!” Nancy quickly runs off.

You sigh. Might as well get to class too. Damn it, why didn’t you think of that. Then again, you don’t actually have the grades to actually take AP classes, let alone History and Moral Philosophy.

Math Class is a free period thankfully, which means you can more or less goof off. However, the Professor also has free extra credit assignments to do.

Also, despite the Porsche turret being inferior to the Krupp turret, at least it tells us that it's one of the initial production batch of 50 tanks, which means the steel isn't as terrible as it would be a year later.

> Watch Tanks

You sit down next to all the curious kids watching the match and glue your attention to the screen. Sevastopol Naval Academy is a team that focuses mainly on Russian lights and medium tanks, preferring mobility and speed against Black Forest’s more balanced line up.

To this end, Sevastopol brings 5 BT-7s, 1 BT-7a as the flag tank, 2 T-26s, and 2 T-34/57s. A nice line up. Unfortunately Black Forest brings to bear several heavies which are downright impenetrable. 1 Tiger I, 1 Tiger II, 5 Panther tanks, 2 Stug IVs with one of them being the flag, and of course, the Maus.

You whistle admirably as Black Forest Peak proceeds to meticulously defeat Sevastopol in detail. Black Forest Peak keeps in formation, never breaking off to pursue any of the fast tanks, knowing that each loss they inflict on Sevastopol is utterly irreplaceable. Several skirmishes break out as Sevastopol only scratch the surface of the German tanks, until the BT-7a remains.

From there, Sevastopol respectfully surrenders.

You of course are watching the surrender in Chemistry class. These matches go on a lot longer than you think they do. Oh well, the other Professors didn’t have any work to give out anyway.

It’s time for lunch.

“Hey, girls.” Your staff greets you in line at lunch. “Did you catch the match?”

Lisa nods. “Total shut out. Not a single tank lost on Black Forest Peak’s side. Honestly, why would you bring BT-7s against Panther tanks? That’s stupid.”

Nancy says, “Well, perhaps they were trying to catch the Panther’s on the side. Use their speed and mobility to try and outmaneuver them. The T-34/57 actually has respectable armor penetration.”

Lisa nods. “Yeah, but the whole match, they’re just probing and poking, not once did they actually land a penetrating shot. The Panthers and the Tigers outranged those tanks. They could’ve actually BEEN in Sevastopol and they still wouldn’t be able to escape.”

“Shame really,” you say. “Gotta wonder what it’s like with a line up like that.”

“Not to mention the Maus,” says Lisa. “I mean, goodness. Already?”

“Well,” says Nancy as she gets her food. “Black Forest Peak is not a team that fights fairly.”

You all sit down at the table, having received your lunches. You decided to go with a nice simple chicken salad today, totally healthy choice. Plenty of dressing though.

In a sport that includes late-war tanks, it's a terrible choice.

At the very least they could've gone for some T-34/85s as their carries.

>>29414801
Not nesscary it would make a decent scout tank and could defend itself in a pinch depending on the enemy. But considering they had bt tanks and other more faster light tanks then yeah I do agree

>>29414749
They did lose to a team that had a Type 89 I-Go, and the Maus is both extremely slow and a huge target to something with a decent gun on it, especially if they can ambush from above.

>>29414624
Nigga, it had 15mm armor all around that was mostly unsloped. 37mm guns slapped it around like a gutter whore. It wasn't even until 1937 that all new T-26s were equipped with radios. It may have been decent in 1931, but by 1939, it was woefully obselete.

>>29414857
How? It tops out at just under 20mph on pavement.

>>29414857
It has a horrible power-to-weight ratio, non-existent armor, and a gun that's really only useful against other light tanks.

“So, girls, how were your classes besides?”

Lisa shrugs. “Well, beyond the Tankery match, mostly boring. It’s not like anything really interesting happens in class.”

You nod. “I tend to space out. It looks like I’m paying attention but in reality I’m off in my own little fantasy world. Everything tends to move faster when that happens.”

“I can relate,” says Lisa. “Sometimes the Professor goes over something you already know by heart and it really isn’t worth it to pay attention. So you just sit there, nod your head, stare at the board.”

Nancy frowns. “Shouldn’t you pay attention anyway?”

You grunt. “That’s coming from someone who takes a filler class.”

“Hey!” Nancy pouts. “Lisa takes History and Moral too!”

Lisa nods. “That’s right. It’s quite the Filler class. Sometimes we get to watch movies like Birth of a Nation, Starship Troopers-“

You gasp. “You get to watch Starship Troopers! That’s one of my favorite movies! It’s so bad!”

Lisa looks at you curiously. “Are you aware that the movie was made as satire towards militarism and was meant to be more of a parody of the original book?”

“… Well no, but still! Cool movie, great CGI!”

They put it in the middle of a city, alone against the entire enemy team. Of course it got outnumbered and outmaneuvered.

You crack open Achtung, Panzer, and start on reading through it. As you read through it, you decide on holding a conversation about tanks. Gotta multitask sometimes you know. “So, Ramirez, got a favorite tank?”

Ramirez shrugs. “Eh. I don’t think so. I like tanks equally I suppose.”

…

You nod. “That’s real nice.” You return to your book

Lisa says, “Say, Boss?” You look up at Lisa. “You have a favorite tank?”

You shrug. “I like all tanks equally, same as Ramirez.”

“Is it because you still don’t know a lot about tanks?” says Lisa bluntly.

You puff your cheeks out. “Well- I- Fuck you.”

Lisa rolls her eyes. “Well, at least you’re studying. That’s what’s important. I thought I’d be stuck with a stupid President this year, turns out I’m not.”

You smile. “That’s nice of you, Lisa.”

“Though,” Nancy says, “I think William Adams has the same thinking as Sevastopol did, just with better tanks. They might be a bigger threat to us especially given our line up. What do you think, President?”

Right, it maxed out at the still-inadequate 45mm. Comparing it to other early-war tanks requires comparing it to things like the vz. 38, Panzer III, and Matilda II, all of which thoroughly outclassed it.

The 37 mn is a bit inadequate though the Scott's gun can only use he rounds if I recall is still better then the 37mn

Not to mention I like the Scott

>>29415344
Not really at least early model panzer 3 and the 38t it can put up a decent fight.

In the shop didn't they have a t 26 with a76.2 gun?

>>29415419
It could fire AP rounds but...it's not going to do much due to the length of the barrel, and overall performance is going to be worse than the 37mm even if penetration values are higher because the 37mm will fire faster, and be shooting tighter groups.

If you want the Poles to go fast, why not give them a Chaffee or similar late-war light/medium tank?

>>29415419
The scott is a friggin' 75mm ARTILLERY piece. What in all the nine worlds makes you think it would be even close to useful here?

>>29415344

It has just occurred to me that for the price of getting the Type 97 Comp Speced we could've bought the Panzer 35(t).

“Oh, it’s just Cromwells and Comets,” you say. “They’re practically paper tanks against our line up.”

Nancy says, “We still have to win though.”

“Yes, Nancy, I know,” you say back. “But, if the girls we met at the Tank Meet were any indication, perhaps their hubris will be their downfall. You know how hubris do?”

Lisa nods. “Sure. Once we get the plans and everything, I’m sure we can get to formulating a plan.”

“Great!” you say. “Have faith you guys.” The alarm sounds for the next classes. “Anyway, I gotta go. Remember, have faith!”

You bid farewell to your staff and head for gym class. Nothing too particularly interesting today. You check in with Hanna.

“Our animations are doing fine. We can probably have something for you in a couple of days. Just check back at the Animation Club building.”

You nod. “Great!”

BEEP goes the audio track. “244.”

You’re absolutely drenched in sweat, your legs feel like pudding, and your boobs feel like they’re about to rocket into orbit. Might want to invest in a sportsbra. Regardless though, you’re the only one still actually running, and the students are actually cheering you on to finish the entire thing.

BEEP. “245.”

You shake your head. You feel a bit dizzy. Nothing doing though, you’ll finish this thing if it kills you.

BEEP. “246.”

You stumble a little at that, but ready up at the starting line again, then shove off before the-

BEEP “247. End of Level 21. End of Test.”

You progress back to a walking speed, looking downwards and breathing hard. Everyone applauds you as the only student to ever actually finish the entire pacer in nearly five years. You throw your head back and groan.

You throw your head back and groan again when you hit the showers. Not only do you let the cool waters wash the stank off you, you drink some of it as well, regardless of where it’s been. Unfortunately you’re too tired to talk to either Hanna, Grant, or Bradbury, but at least you got the Pacer out of the way. The Coaches respect you so much now that you can now opt out of doing anything in class so long as you show up.

Your greatcoat fills a bit stifling, but it is still cold outside. You meet your staff by the campus entrance. “Hey , President! Goodness, you look terrible!”

You smile, stumbling in step and saying, “Oh, don’t worry about me, girls. I just ran 247 laps of the Pacer, now I don’t have to do gym class anymore.”

“247 laps of the Pacer,” says Lisa. “Are you some kind of witch?”

“Lisa!” You place both hands on her shoulders, surprising her. “I’m ANYTHING, you want me to be.”

Ramirez says, “You sound drunk.”

You say, “Ah, you’d be surprised what happens when you’re tired out of your mind.” You withdraw your hands then say, “But anyway, we got practice. Let’s move!”

You all leave the campus and head on over to the Tankery HQ. You walk in to the delightful sound of everyone chattering about, studying on tanks, and in general just being cute girls doing cute things.

“Kitten!” you shout. Kitten looks up from her nonspecific handheld console. “It’s cold outside!”

Kitten nods. “I noticed.” You stand next to her for a moment. Then you place your hands on her cheeks. “AH! COLD! TRUDY! WHAT ARE YOU-“

“My hands are cold!”

Keegan smiles, taking it quickly. “Ah, my speculative book, back to it’s rightful owner.”

“You enjoy it?” asks Smith.

Smith says, “And your project, it’s due tomorrow isn’t it?”

You shrug. “Eh, I’ll have it done by tomorrow.”

Keegan smirks. “Just pull an all-nighter? Break out the coffee and the sugary snacks?”

“Ha, like I pull all nighters,” you say. “Though, seeing you guys-“ You noticed one of the distinct traits of the History Club is that all of them possess subtle but noticeable bags under their eyes. “-You guys do it a lot?”

Keegan nods. “We do a lot of academic ghost writing on the side. It’s actually pretty profitable, keeps the History Club from getting disbanded due to lacking a pursuit.”

One of them which you identified as Mikaela Howard says, “Yep! But keep it a secret though.”

You make a zipping motion with your lips. Suddenly, you hear the door fly open. “Bonjour!” you hear. Must be the Sewing Club. The trio of Sewers cart in some boxes. “Gertrude!” says Eleanor. “We got something for you!”

Everyone’s busy putting the new Tankery uniforms on, admiring the comfort, the style, the durability of it. You meanwhile, look around yourself. The new Tankery uniforms look positively military. A heavy olive drab jacket with a good number of pockets, a black miniskirt, and a khaki undershirt with some nice combat boots to fit.

Eleanor says, “I based the jacket off the M42 Jacket worn by US Paratroopers. Everything else just sort of came into place.” She holds up a helmet with goggles wrapped around it. “I even got a load of M1 Helmets, goggles, and some nice caps for us to use!”

You nod. “That’s great!” You take up the helmet and put it on yourself, it immediately hangs downwards over your eyes. “Helmets are a little big.”

“Well,” Eleanor shrugs, smiling, “You’ll get used to it, I’m sure.”

You nod again, your helmet flopping downwards back into your hands. You look over at Kitten. “How are you liking the uniform, Kitten?”

Kitten is desperately trying to find a decent length for her miniskirt, blushing furiously. “Do these skirts have to be this short?”

Eleanor says, “Well, I took a bit of inspiration from other teams. They keep their skirts that short to maintain mobility.”

“Yeah,” Kitten shouts, “I’ll be maintaining mobility while flashing everyone my tightie-whities!”

You roll your eyes. “Oh relax, Kitten. I think it looks cute!”

Nancy walks over, grinning. “The President is right! These are amazing!”

“Speaking of amazing,” Dubois knocks on the wall, announcing her presence. “I am in fact here, we going to get to work?”

> Combat Theory

You lean back in your seat as Captain Dubois begins her lecture on Combat Theory. “… so, let’s review. What is the best angle for attacking a tank?”

Tabitha of the Freshmen raises her hand. “90 degree angle. As flat as possible.”

Dubois nods. “Correct. The greater angle at which you engage-” she draws a line, then draws another line coming into the first at a 45 degree angle. “- the greater chance,” she says as she connects the line, then sends it flying off at another 45 degree angle, “Of a non-penetrating hit. This is why most modern tanks today have sloping armor which increases maximum effective thickness.”

Nancy raises her hand. “Captain, should we worry about using certain rounds for certain situations?”

Dubois nods. “Excellent question, Nancy. You do have to worry about using the correct type of round for the correct type of situation. You’ve got the standard AP and HE rounds, HVAP, HEAT rounds, etc. Non-standard rounds are more of a case by case basis, for example, you can’t use White Phosphorus rounds, too uh… burny.”

Dales raises her hand. “What’s a HEAT round?”

“HEAT rounds are High-Explosive Anti-Tank. Essentially, what you have is a shaped charge, the same ones you’d use in say, a bazooka. What makes HEAT rounds effective is the fact that it works regardless of range. You get the same penetration value if you fired from 100 meters or 1000 meters.”

You nod slowly, taking notes of all the various round types and what they can do.

Whoops, forgot to ask, where there even HEAT loadings for 3" guns and the M1 during WWII?

Anyways, I think this has been asked before but I forgot, but are there any rules on what sort of ammunition we can sling around?

It seems like it'd be a really effective equalizer for schools that can't afford the top tier tanks, but otherwise have resources/personnel to create ammunition.

Seems like it'd be a great way to make modern HEAT/squash heads/APFSDS rounds that can absolutely thrash WWII tanks.

> Command Theory

“… now I’m aware that you’re going to be facing William Adams Naval Academy. They’re a school that highly values speed and maneuverability on the field. Survivability suffers a bit, mind you, but you also have to understand the old adage, ‘Speed is armor’.”

You and all the Commands listen attentively to Dubois.

“Now, to get an idea of how fast tanks work, you must understand that you can use them for a variety of roles. Most people use them as effective scouts, some use them as flankguards, reserves, etcetera etcetera. A tank that’s slow can’t do nearly as much on the strategic level as a fast tank can. On the tactical level, a fast tank can be a complete nightmare. Hard to hit, hard to find, etc.”

You nod. Dubois walks up to you, “Gertrude, perhaps you’d like to help me illustrate this?”

Only Senshado league approved rounds.

“… so just zoom past.”

Dubois nods. “Indeed! It’s actually quite like Skycraft with the American planes. Get an altitude advantage, then dive down, use the energy to get back up. Repeat as necessary. For this particular thing, a hill is definitely something you want on your side.”

You nod. “Okay.” You take a look at the diagram on the board. Your Sherman sits on a hill, then charges down, plants a shot in a tank as it speeds past, then continues on its merry way.

“Keep in mind though,” Dubois says. “It’s a tricky thing to coordinate. There’s a reason this isn’t an actual tactical maneuver in war, but this is Tankery. You’ve got room for all kinds of crazy stuff.”

HESH rounds are wishful thinking by the British army and the only reason they're hanging on to a rifled main gun instead of standardizing with the rest of NATO to the Rheinmetall L44.

They had middling performance against tanks to begin with, and with kevlar spall liners were rendered completely ineffective against armor.

And canister shot for 120mm smoothbore is a better urban combat round.

That said I'm pretty sure tankery requires historical accuracy on the ammo types.

Nevermind the previous post, didn't read your post properly.

When I said game breaking I meant in the sense that it would ruin the meta. There would be no point getting the bigger tanks since a smaller but more mobile tank would be able to penetrate anyway and win due to mobility.

Once you remove the reason for having the huge guns on late war heavy tanks, everyone would begin using medium tanks instead.

You shrug. “I dunno. Something amazing I guess.”

Maybe if we can somehow combine the two, it would be impossible to have an upskirt shot no matter the conditions the characters are in.

We need armor up the Chi-ha and panzer, as well as give the Panzer improved suspension and rouser

>>29418364
The Chi-ha's armor is so thin we might as well not bother for all the good it does, and we need the money for other things.

2. Spend it on upgrades for existing tanks.

“Luciano, Bolter. Please don’t start a drag race.”

As you’re turned out of the commander’s hatch on the Sherman, you look next to you see Luciano angrily staring down at Bolter, who’s obliging her with a furious glare. The tanks rock occasionally to show that they’re about to either ram each other or start an impromptu drag race.

“Right, Bolter, button up,” says Kate. “Don’t need you wrecking the Panzer IV.”

You sigh. “Same with you, Lucianno. In fact, all Commander’s button up. Let’s try and get this without having to turn out.”

All the Commanders retreat within their hatches.

“Right,” you consult the manual of formations. “Let’s try a simple V-formation. I’ll take point. Ten meter intervals. Sound good?”

Dubois says over the radio, “Now you’re cooking with oil, Gertrude. Begin.”

The tanks edge forward. “Right,” you say over the radio. “Take it slow, no rush.” You look through the periscope, to see the tanks starting to fall into something resembling a formation. The Aces of course fall in next to you, 10 meters behind at your 7 O’Clock, almost like clockwork. Everyone else has a bit of trouble, but they’re getting there.

“Very good,” says Dubois. “Textbook V-formation.”

You grin. You’re getting this.

“Fire!”

The 76mm opens up on the target, one thousand meters away. Dubois notes that the entire farm had to be rented to get that kind of distance. Oh well. Won’t be too long. You check the target once the smoke clears. Completely untouched. You sigh, “That’s a miss, Nancy.”

“Aaawww!” Nancy slumps in her seat as Ramirez loads up another AP round. “Firing at a target one kilometer out is really hard!”

You check the other targets, completely unharmed.

Except for the Ace’s target. Perfect hole right in the center.

Dubois says, “Good shot, Michelle! You hit a target way out of your tank’s effective range!”

You smile a little at that. At least you know you’ve got a limit now. “Alright, Nancy. Let’s try again.”

Long distance shooting goes on for another half hour or so. The inside of your tank by then is hot, sweaty, and cramped to all high-hell. But, you’re getting this. Everyone’s getting. Won’t be long now before you’re ready to take on William Adams Naval Academy.

> + 1 CP

You sigh as you collapse into the couch. Dubois addresses you all in the lounge. “Good work today, everyone.” Everyone applauds a little. “Right, your match is next weekend against William Adams Naval Academy. I have the highest hope for all of you. Don’t leave me wanting, okay?” Everyone shouts yes. “Great!”

Nancy looks over. “President, we should talk about the pep rally.”

Dubois leaves, leaving you to address your crew. “Alright, team. Tomorrow’s the Pep Rally. We gotta discuss the most important thing about it. What are we going to do?”

…

Tara raises her hand. “Are we in the Pep Rally?”

“Well, technically no,” you say. “But, there will be some time when it ends maybe, right Nancy?”

Nancy looks surprised, then nods. “Yeah, there’s usually a brief window they start dismissing everyone from the stands.”

“A couple of minutes to be precise. And we want to consider what we’re going to do in order to raise more awareness and generate some hype for the Tankery team. Anybody got any ideas? Anything to suggest?” Luciano raises her hand. “Yeah?”

She lazily says, “Do we have to do it?”

You nod. “Yes, you have to do it. It’s not a team effort if everyone but one contributes.” The Delinquents all groan a little at that. “Does anyone have any ideas?”

…

Luciano raises her hand again. “What if we’re absent that day?”

“You’re not skipping school.”

Janek raises her hand. “I got an idea.”

You clap your hands. “Janek, great! What’s your idea?”

“Well,” she says, tapping on her chin. “I was watching Remember the Titans the other day. How about we just roll in, do a short cheer, yell some Tankery stuff, then leave. That sound good?”

Something doesn't seem right here...

That sounds like a great excuse for the Hall Monitors to come down like a hammer on us.

>>29418960
Will it have enough impact? If so, Y

>>29418960
I think we should ask Fairlass on this first

>>29418960

Get some banners as well and stick em on top of our tanks. Be sure to direct interested people to our practice sessions so they can see what we do rather than just harp on about it.

>>29418960
That's what I was thinking, but let's leave the floor open to more brainstorming, ya? Let's at least call O'Hara and ask her if we can without getting fined or have our tanks impounded or something.

Too bad the animation's going to be finished the day after the rally.

Like, just roll in in a tank? We should prolly just desant on the Stuart--it's the lightest tank we've got, isn't it?

>>29418960
We should call the vice pres of the senior council

I'm not sure the gym would tank multiple tanks, let alone a single light tank. THe banners are a good idea, but I think it'd be a better show of force if we all sat on top of one of the lighter tanks in our arsenal, maybe covering our faces in the colors of LGA. We drive in, say a cheer or three, and roll out, leaving nothing but torn up gym floor planks and the heady scent of diesel fumes.
