“Get me the Tankery Uniform, Trudy…”

Kitten stands you up and pushes you to the shower. “Couple of things, let’s get you showered first, then I’ll tell you why my name isn’t Trudy.”

“I need coffee.”

“You don’t drink coffee.”

Kitten gets busy on scrubbing you down and washing your hair. You’re normally not this tired in the morning, but yesterday REALLY did a number on your stamina. At least you don’t actually have to do things in Gym class anymore. Plus, you at least got your English project done.

Your shower’s finished up, and Kitten proceeds to start dressing you like a squire to his knight. “Leg up please.” You lift up your leg slightly as Kitten gets your Tankery uniform miniskirt on. “Arms up.” You raise your arms as Kitten gets your shirt on.

“Kitten,” you say.

“Yes?” She gets your jacket on and starts buttoning it up.

“Why did you check on me today?”

Kitten shrugs. “Eh, just worried a bit. Besides, I think it’s time I woke you up for once.”

“This’ll probably only happen once then we go back to our usual routine, huh?”

Kitten chortles. “Yeah, sure.” She dusts off the jacket once she finishes the buttons. “Looking spiffy, Commander.”

You nod. “Thanks, what about you?”

She shrugs. “Eh, I’ll change into mine at school.”

You both head to the door, and once it opens, the sun hits you like a death ray. You lift your hand to shade your eyes, squinting. Wasn’t this sunny yesterday. Fuck you, sun. Inconsistent piece of shit.

You look around. “Where’s my staff?” Kitten taps your shoulder and points down. You find your staff all sitting around your Sherman. They wave at you.

“Hi, President!” Nancy waves at you from the Loader’s hatch. “Sleep well?”

“Eh, I suppose I could be better.” You walk up to the Sherman and pat it on the side. You notice something on the turret side though. “What’s that?”

Lisa smiles. “Like it? It was Nancy’s idea.”

Painted on the side of the turret is a black heart, on the right side of it, Lafayette’s signature Fleur-de-lis.

Nancy smiles. “Painted it myself! It’s so the other teams can tell us apart in case we run into other tanks like us.”

You nod, smiling. “That’s great, Nancy. Other teams come up with something like this?”

Lisa shakes her head. “Not yet. But they’ll probably come up with something soon.” She checks the time. “Anyway, we might as well get to school.”

“Right,” You climb up onto Cupid the Sherman, finding the cast hull a bit less grippy than you remember it. You stand atop the turret then shout, “Mount up!” Everyone takes their respective positions, and the Sherman then powers up into the street.

> Converse Casually

You’re now a bit more awake as the subtle vibration of the suspension hits your ass. Gotta say though, it’s a smoother ride than it used to be. You look down at Lisa. “So, Lisa. Ready for our little flashmob today?”

Lisa nods. “Sure thing.” She says, “We’re meeting up with our team before classes, just to remind you.”

“I know, I know. Wonder what Cathy’s thought up of.”

Nancy says, “I hope it’s catchy.”

“I’m not! Don’t want no crappy showtunes in my head the rest of the month,” says Lisa. “Jeez.”

“Lisa,” says Nancy, “It’s quite a thing when you have a cheer! You should at least be able to memorize it based off how catchy it is!”

“Ugh…” says Lisa as she bangs her forehead into the driver’s periscope.

“Relax, Lisa,” you say. “Nothing wrong with a nice little dance and cheer. Why, I’m sure Kitten is-“

Kitten says, “No.”

“Whatever,” you say. “Regardless of what we do, this is for the Tankery Program. So chins up, stiff upper lips as they say in Great Britain.”

You turn out of the Commander’s hatch to find your tank getting gawked at by passing students. They take pictures on their phones, text their friends, etc. Social media stronk. You arrive at the parking lot to see the rest of the team, hanging out in the parking lot by their tanks.

You park in next to the Churchill IV, Chuck.

“… and sway your hips like so.” Cathy keeps your hands on your hips and moves them to the beat of the cheer.

“Alright,” You nod.

“Now you’re getting it!” she says.

“Great!” You snap your finger. “Real hell of a thing you’ve done, Cathy.”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” she waves you off. You both look at the rest of the team, busily practicing the cheer. Kitten especially looks very unamused, as do the delinquents, and Wendy. You roll your eyes. They’ll come around. “So, what are you doing in your Tankery uniform?” she asks.

“Oh, just decided to advertise,” you say. “I think I can get it through on the justification that I am spreading school spirit.” You check the time. You still got a bit of time before class. Anything you want to do?

“Remember, the signal is a whistle!”

You say goodbye to your team and head on over to the Library. Not much to do other than read a nice book. Book in general being Achtung, Panzer!

> Achtung, Panzer!: Progress: 40%

You yawn as you put the book down. You inspect your uniform a little. Still pristine and clean. You remember that you need to wear it tomorrow for the dinner at Adams. You wonder what British cuisine is like. Probably fish and chips.

ALARM

Time for classes. You head on over to math class. Although you haven’t gotten the extra credit assignment done yesterday, you’re at least getting this classes’ assignments done. The math problems don’t come to you as easily as you think they would, but the Professor at least is good enough to tell you which number goes where and how to make sure it stays there.

English class as well goes on relatively smoothly. Being the Student Council President you are, you decide to go first for your presentation to get it out of the way. You concisely present your points on powerpoint, improvise a bit of dialogue, and even build a greater report with the audience, who applaud you at the end. The Professor even says, “It’s quite clear you’ve done some work on this presentation, Miss Pool.”

Yeah. SMOOTH CRIMINAL.

Chemistry class goes by relatively uneventfully. More periodic table memorization and atomic number placement. Nothing too exciting.

However, what is exciting is the fact that with lunch, EVERYONE is going there now. You’re immediately swept up in the mob, unable to make heads or tails of anyone.

Oh god, the lines are going to be KILLER.

“Nancy!” You shout over the sea of students.

“Hi, President!” Nancy waves some several meters away. You push through the crowd of students, and manage to get to Nancy, who has changed out into her Tankery Uniform. “Crowded lunch today.”

You nod weakly. “There’s so many people! We’ll never get lunch at this rate.”

“Hmhm. I prepared for this,” She holds up a couple of paper bags. “I brought some leftovers from dinner last night! Chicken rice curry with some nice leafy greens and-“ She holds up a bottle of milk. “Milk!”

You stand there, dumbfounded. “Nancy, there’s times when I realize that you’re way more on top of things than I am.”

The two of you push through the crowd and find yourself at the usual table. You meet Lisa, Ramirez, and Kitten, all wearing their uniforms. Unfortunately, because of the density of students in the lunchroom, open seats are pretty much worth their weight in gold. Thus, you default to Kitten sitting on your lap.

“Boy!” you say. “Didn’t realize how many students we had.”

Lisa says, “And these are just General Studies. Who knows how many Naval Studies kids we have below deck!”

“You know, I just realized why I don’t let Kitten eat off my lap.” You’re having some real obvious difficulties trying to eat your curry while Kitten is in the way. Kitten meanwhile is eating her lunch unimpeded.

Kitten looks back at you, smug. “Having trouble?”

“Don’t be smart with me, young lady,” you say. Kitten scoops up a bit of her curry and jams it into your mouth-ohgodthisisdelicious.

Lisa says, “So, your project go okay?”

You nod, swallowing up that delicious curry. “Yep! Professor really liked it, might get a B at the very least on it.”

“That’s great!” says Nancy.

“It is! I feel like I’m finally settling into school life,” you say.

“You weren’t already?” asks Lisa.

“Well, you know,” you say, “Character development. As they say in English Class at least.” Lisa rolls her eyes at that. “Oh don’t roll your eyes, admit it, you think I’m totally awesome for starting to get my shit together!”

Lisa sighs. “So, I was thinking, the Saunders versus Christie Match is today at around like 5. How about we gather the teams at the HQ and watch it together?”

You nod. “Sure, why not? We can have ourselves a little dinner party.”

Nancy nods. “Excellent!” She snaps her finger. “Oh, just so you know-” she motions you to come a bit closer. You lean past Kitten and towards Nancy. “I called Fairless and the Hall Monitors. They’re fine with our little flash mob today.”

You nod again. “What about Fredendall, what’ll she think?”

“It’s not like Fredendall has lunch with us. She always eats in the Senior Courtyard.”

“There’s a Senior Courtyard?” you ask.

“Yeah! For Seniors.”

You puff your cheeks. “D’oh. Why hadn’t I heard of that?”

“Anyway, she won’t be around to protest, so I think we’re in clear.”

>>29439591

Speaking of in the clear, you turn your attention to Cathy standing on her seat, in Tankery Uniform. Not the wisest idea considering the skirts, but how else are you going to get everyone’s attention. She plants a finger in her mouth, lets off a loud whistle.

“Ooh, that’s our cue!” you say.

Kitten freezes. “But-“

“NO TIME, KITTEN, LET’S GO!”

All the Tankery girls stand from their seats and head to the center of the cafeteria, the only place large enough to hold all of you. You all assume a square formation, you at the forefront with your staff. All the students in the cafeteria look at you, confused, bemused, some holding out their phones to take pictures or record. Good, you’ve got their attention.

Cathy slides amongst her freshmen. “’Kay girls!” she yells. “Ready?”

“READY!”

“1! 2! 1-2-3-4!”

You stomp your feet and clap your hands to the rhythm, then begin your dance.

Everywhere we go, everywhere we go!
People want to know, people want to know!
Who we are, who we are!
So we tell them, so we tell them!
We are the Tankers! We are the Tankers!
Mighty mighty Tankers! Mighty Tankers!

You clap then slide into two neat columns. You stomp and shout, “Hoo-hoo, HOOYAH!”

1-2-3-4, Lafayette! Here we go!

5-6-7-8, Be prepared! Say a prayer! We’ll be there! Over there!

You stomp your feet for the last time.

All the students in the cafeteria burst into applause, laughter, and cheers. Your teams break formation to wave, either embarrassed, or proud of the attention they’re getting. Kitten shyly waves at everyone.

Maybe you should say something.

Once everyone calms down a bit, you get up to the forefront of the formation and snap your fingers. An obedient freshman brings you a microphone, that’s convenient. You clear your throat. “Students! My name’s Gertrude Pool, Sophomore Class President and Commander of the Lafayette Girls Academy Tankery Program!” You wave to your Tankery girls. “As you can see, we’re all really hyped for our upcoming match next weekend with William Adams Naval Academy! Are you?!”

They respond with screams and cheers.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t quite catch that. Tanks and big guns, you know? What did you say?”

Everyone cheers louder.

“Okay, okay! Heard you that time!” You grin. “Now, I’m going to tell you something. The Tankery Program is new, that’s a fact! But we got enthusiasm, courage, and spirit on our side! And I want to know if any of you, indeed, if any of you are willing to help us out!”

Everyone again cheers at that. Good, you’ve got them hook, line, and sinker.

“Right! I want you all to text either my treasurer, Lisa Cowell, my VP, Nancy Whitmore, or my Secretary, Ramirez! We need money, anything you can provide us! Lafayette Girls Academy is a team, and you all are our bread and butter! Will you help us?”

Everyone again cheers. Lisa, Nancy, and Ramirez’s cellphones immediately go off, and they check them to see what could be dozens, or even hundreds of new texts of support to the Tankery Program.

“Anyway, we won’t hold you guys too long now. Go back to your lunches, remember! Donate!”

Everyone excitedly returns to their lunches. You sit down at your seat, beaming with joy.

“That was great!” Nancy says. “You think we’ll get more money, President?”

>>29439996
I just want enough of a tiger,maybe a new tank or upgrades too. we ran out of spare tanks to have new people recruited

>>29440051
Perhaps fix up the sherman chassis we have and/or buy the Panzer IV chassis in the shop. We could always wait for next tuesday though

>>29440115
True, we have 10 crew members and the first match is limited to 10.

>>29440187
Doesn't mean we can't get crews to sit in reserve and get trained up until we need them.

Upgun or upgrade the StuG, add parts to the PzIV, upgun the Sentinel first.

Remember, the King Tiger still has a 1 week delivery period. It won't make it for our first match.

>>29440219
ALso true but we kind of lacked tanks at the moment and we there are not a lot of good tanks on the market.

“We’ll get plenty of money!” You say. “It’s a real thing we’ve done here. Didn’t think they’d let us pull it off.”

Nancy says, “The Hall Monitors were actually pretty agreeable about it. O’Bannon actually thought the tune was pretty darn catchy.”

Lisa nods. “Yeah, at least we know we won’t get in trouble for this. Hell, we won’t even have to attend the pep rally. Boringest shit to sit through you know?”

“Eh,” you say. “It could be fun… if it wasn’t just introducing the teams and nothing else.”

You check the time. “Oooh, time for gym class.” You quickly dig into the curry and finish it with the gusto of a dog. “Kitten, want to-“

“No.”

“Okay.”

You bid farewell to your crew and head to Gymn class. Thankfully, today is a free period. Which means you can do whatever you’d like. However, there is a particular reason today is a free period, and that is because the coaches have rolled out a TV to show off the Chihatan versus King Michael I Academy Tankery match.

> Watch the Match

You sit there in your Tankery uniform, occasionally answering a question about Tankery in general, or where your cute outfit came fom. Now that you think about it, you could totally use your Tankery uniform as streetclothes, perhaps. You need to remind yourself to get Anna to make some spares.

The Chihatan versus King Michael I match is actually pretty damn close. King Michael I of Romania fielded 3 T-38s or Panzer 38(t)s, 2 T-4s or Panzer IV ausf. J, a TA or Stug III ausf. F as their flag, and 4 T-3s or Panzer III ausf. N.

Chihatan meanwhile fielded Chi-has of all types. 5 Chi-Ha Kai, 1 Short Barrel 120mm Gun Tank like yours, 1 Type 3 Ho-Ni III, 2 Type 97 Chi-Ha with one as the flag, and 1 Chi-Nu.

You whistle admirably at the line ups. To work with tanks like those. You wonder who might win at this.

Willie Hanna and Nicole Grant sit next to you as the match kicks off in earnest. “So, who do you think is going to win?”

From the scene in the series, Chihatan went for a frontal attack.
Against Maho in a Tiger. While going uphill.

Yeah, if their only valid tactic is Nippon Banzai! I don't fancy their chances.

>>29440939
Sorry, I meant Chi-Ha-Kai

Damn typo, Really hoping for the Chihatan team to win

> King Michael I University High School

“The Romanians I think. They got the better tanks right? This oughta be a shut-out.”

You sit in awe as the match goes on. This is totally NOT a shut-out.

The Romanians fight valiantly against Chihatan, rushing their defensive positions with all their might. The Chi-Has, for their part, crumple like paper, but only if they actually get shot. Chihatan’s commander seems to really know the terrain, and whereas she might lose one tank against King Michael, King Michael would lose a tank as well, keeping the balance in favor of no one.

You seem study the Panzer IV Js. They seem a bit… bad. You can’t put your finger on it. Something about them seems slower.

Hanna bites her fingernails. “Oh jeez!”

The King Michael I formation of tanks, the remaining ones at least, a Panzer III and both Panzer IVs had been traded for three of Chihatan’s Chi-Ha Kais. What Hanna is really worrying about is the fact that they’re wondering right into an ambush in a forest. The Chihatan team has camouflaged themselves brilliantly amongst the bushes.

Grant says, “This is gonna suck.”

The Chi-Has all fire, some shots bouncing off the superior German armor, but some finding their marks. It instantly turns into a complete clusterfuck.

“I can’t tell who’s winning!” shouts a random freshman.

In the confusion, you spot King Michael I’s flag tank trying to escape. Maybe they can get away before-

It receives a shot into the engine block from the more attentive Chi-Nu.

…

Holy shit.

“King Michael I University High School’s flag tank has been rendered inoperable, Chihatan Academy is victorious!”

Grant looks at you. “That was crazy, wasn’t it?”

“Sure was. Whoever’s commanding Chihatan knows her shit. That was really really damn close!”

With that, gym class is over. You bid farewell to Grant and Hanna, then move onto Theatre Class. Nothing particularly happens of course, save for Roberta and her gaggle of tryhards doing “more” improv games. History Class as well goes by relatively smoothly, along with French.

You pay particularly close attention in French Class, and even answer some of the teacher’s questions in broken but understandable French. That’s gonna get you a long way in France at least.

With that, School’s over. However, the Pep Rally is supposed to start in like ten minutes. You don’t really need to go since it’s mostly Fredendall grandstanding the Sports teams. Wouldn’t hurt to make an appearance though, would it?

Then again, the Saunders versus Christie Match is in two hours. Nancy and the rest of the crew oughta be at the HQ preparing dinner.

What shall you do now?

A couple of minutes wouldn't hurt. Besides, those Sports Teams could actually be talented. We shouldn't hold it against them, even if they have Fredendall's backing.

> Head to the Pep Rally

The drums and horns play as you stand off to the side of the stands alongside the other staffs. On the field, the sports teams assemble and introduce themselves to the loud cheers of all the assembled students.

“We’re going to get out there, and show them what we’re made of!” yells Fredendall over the mic. Eh, could be worse. It could be Spirit Week. She could be wearing a toga.

You shudder. Spirit Week.

Alongside you stand the other staffs, the Juniors and the Seniors. Fairless is idly biting on her lip, apparently wanting to be somewhere other than here. Betty meanwhile is simply texting away on her phone.

You ask Fairless, “How many sports teams are there?”

“30-ish,” she responds.

You sigh as the teams start introducing themselves. The baseball team, the softball team, the Lacrosse team, the Track and Field Team, the Ultimate Frisbee team, the Golf team, the CURLING team, the flag football team, the tennis team…

This is going to be a while.

You cross your arms standing by as Fredendall pumps up the crowd. “She seems really popular with the student body.”

Fairless says, “Well, she’s a girl who keeps her promises. Of course the students love her.”

“… and finally, last but not least, we’ve got the Field Hockey team!” The Field Hockey team runs out onto the field to thunderous applause and cheers.

Fairless looks over at you. “I saw what you did at lunch.”

You smile, looking at her. “Did you?”

“Indeed,” she says. She rubs her fingers together, then says, “Was kind of cheesy if you ask me. But it was cool.”

“Well thanks, wasn’t my cheer though. One of my teams came up with it.”

“That’s real nice,” says Fairless.

“Remember!” shouts Fredendall. “We’re going to take these teams to schools all over the world! Show them what Lafayette Girls Academy is made of! So show your support and get out there, and fill those bleachers!” With that, the Pep Rally is over.

Fredendall walks over, looking positively accomplished. She doesn’t even flinch when she notices you. “Oh, Gertrude! Cute outfit!”

You nod. “Thanks, Fredendall.”

She laughs. “So, I hear you had a little flashmob at lunch today. Sorry to say I missed it. Seniors eat free in the Senior Courtyard you know? Can’t miss out on that.” She snaps her finger. “Though, I hear you’re going up against William Adams next Saturday.” She winks at you. “Good luck!”

“Well, thanks, Fredendall.”

Fredendall nods, beaming. “Great!” She snaps her finger. “Anyway, us upperclassmen are going to head out for some coffee. I’d invite you of course, but I know you’re busy with your little Tankery stuff.”

You nod again, forcing a smile on your face. “Yeah. I’d much prefer to do actual work unfortunately, Fredendall.”

“Righto then, Bernadette, Betty, let’s all go.” The councils all walk past you, leaving you in the dust.

Welp, only one place left to go for the day then, the Tankery HQ. You get on the path and head out for the HQ. Hopefully your teams will be there by now, hopefully dinner’s prepared maybe. You rub your belly, Nancy’s cooking. Exquisite.

You arrive at the HQ in good time, noticing that all the tanks are parked back in the warehouse where they belong. You step inside and immediately smell the scent of fresh cooking.

Nancy pops out of the lounge. “Oh, President! I was about to come get you. Want to help me in the Kitchen if you’re not too busy?”

SPAGHETTI

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You help Nancy get the noodles together, get the tomato sauce just the right consistency, texture, and taste, and other duties in the kitchen. The smell overwhelms as your stomach begins growling like an angry wolf.

“… and then you mix it like so,” says Nancy as she stirs the sauce. “Now, you can throw any kinds of herbs into the sauce, I like to use oregano. Now, we also have meatballs for this. You don’t have to spread the sauce on the meatballs, but feel free if that’s something you’d like.”

Once the sauce is finished, you begin pouring it all over the plates of cooked and ready pasta. You let the smell fill your lungs. You’re going to fucking devour this thing when Nancy tells you it’s ready.

“And… for dessert… I’m thinking Apple Pie.”

You nod. “Oh, that’s the most American thing I can think of, Nancy. Apple Pie. You cook that a lot?”

Nancy nods. “One of my favorite kinds. My grandma cooked it for me all the time!”

You check the time, 4:30. Almost time to hit the Saunders match.

Kitten walks in and immediately the smell hits her. “Whoa, what’s that smell? You cook that, Trudy?”

“Well, a little bit of me, but mostly Nancy.” You put your hand on Nancy’s shoulder. “You hungry, Kitten?”

Kitten nods, salivating over the plates of hot spaghetti. “YES.”

“Welp,” you say, “Think the plates are ready?”

Nancy nods. “Yep!”

As if on cue, all of your crews immediately swarm the kitchen like bees and start grabbing plates left and right, you’re unable to form a response before the last crewmember leaves.

“Wow,” you say. “Didn’t see that coming.”

Kitten nods. “They must be really excited to have Nancy’s cooking.”

Whatever. You grab the remaining plates then head on over to the lounge. Lisa and Ramirez are busy setting up the big screen TV for the match up. You sit down on a couch next to Kitten, putting your plate squarely in your lap.

“That one goes there, Ramirez,” says Lisa. Ramirez puts that one there and immediately the TV turns on. All idle chatter goes away in favor of paying attention to the TV.

Two young ladies in sharp looking suits sit at a desk outside with headphones and microphones. “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Pepper Brookes! And you all know my faithful co-host, Courtney “Cotton” McKnight. You’re joining us in scenic France where the hills are low, the hedges are high, and the tanks are rearing to fight.”

Lisa sits down, spaghetti already getting sucked into her gullet. “So, who are we rooting for?”

“My money’s on Saunders. I think Kay will win this. Don’t you think?”

Lisa shrugs. “Eh, talk of the E-100, not to mention all those other… tanks. I’m not sure.”

You see the three judges, the ones who refereed your match with Heinlein in fact. Kanon Sasogawa, the lead judge, says, “Now, the flag tank match between Saunders High School and J. Walter Christie Polytechnical Institute shall begin!”

Kay and Perrine walk up to each other, and amicably shake hands. They tell each other good luck, and then proceed off to their tanks.

“Now, Cotton, let me be clear with you, we have a traditional Tankery Classic team versus one of the best, if not THE best Unlimited team in the North American league. How do you think this match is going to go down?”

“Well, Brookes. The thing about Walter Christie is that they seem really fond of unusual designs, prototypes, and lesser known variants of better known tanks. The Churchill AVRE that Perrine Hobart commands from for instance is known better as a demolitions and engineering vehicle.”

“Yeah, let’s take a look at the teams here. We have 7 M4A3E8 Shermans, 1 M4A1E8, 1 M4A4 Firefly commanded by Ace gunner Naomi, and 1 M4A3E2 Jumbo. That is a very solid roster, Cotton.”

“Well, compared to Christie who have brought… well… a lot of things. An E-100 for instance, the AVRE as previously mentioned, an LVT(A)-5, A Schofield tank, a Matilda Hedgehog, a Panzer IV Kugelblitz, an SU-14-2, an M3 Lee CDL, a TOG II, and what appears to be an Excelsior tank.”

You munch on your spaghetti as you watch the teams assemble.

“Now, the match can begin.”

The Aces begin their argument over which tank is best.

Wendy seems to be a staunch supporter of probably the most normal tank there, the Matilda Hedgehog. “And the heavy armor on the Matilda is great!”

“Yeah,” says Michelle, “But it can it stand up against the 76mm and the 17 pounder? I think not. The armor was heavy for early war stuff.”

Wendy nods. “Okay, okay, fair point, but the Spigot Mortar launcher’s gotta count for something right?”

“Why are we even discussing Christie’s tanks?” shouts Bolter. “Don’t we hate them? You guys remember the shit they do in Unlimited matches?”

Kate says, “Don’t remind me.”

You ask, “How would you guys rate the E-100?”

Octavia says, “E-100’s definitely going to be soaking damage, that’s for sure. You’re going to need something REALLY big to get through that armor. It’s like a Maus.”

The Saunders team advances in V formation from the southwest towards the north. Christie just starts in some random staggering towards the west from the northeast.

“Now, Cotton, I think we might see an engagement here right off the bat if these teams keep to their courses.”

“Yeah, Brookes, but check out how utterly slow that E-100 is. It’s lagging worse than a Mark I tank.”

You receive a call.

“I’m guessing you’re watching the match, Griselda?”

“Definitely! I got my popcorn, I got my soda, I’m in my jammies and I’m cozier than a bug in a rug! This is going to be intense!”

“Is it?”

“Yeah! I mean, they might not look it, but Christie consistently wins titles in the North American Tankery league. They definitely know what they’re doing when it comes to tanks. I personally think the whole prototype unusual line up thing is just some scam to get the other team to drop their guard.”

“Well… it still doesn’t make too much sense.”

“Of course… wait a minute. How are you watching this? Don’t you have school? Shouldn’t it be like 11 O’Clock over there?”

“Well, I did have a classmate who came in. I had him sneeze on me. Turns out he had the Flu! So I get to stay home all week watching the Tankery matches!”

“… That’s nice, Griselda.”

“Oh don’t tell you wouldn’t do the same.”

“Anyway, who are you betting on, Griselda?”

“Oh, can’t decide. Saunders is a good team, but Walter Christie. Ooh! Anyway, I’ll call you after the match, okay?”

“Yeah, see you, Griselda.”

You hang up and resume watching the match. Everyone’s attention is focused as the first engagement starts picking up.

Cotton says, “… and here we have the first skirmish of the fight. An M4A3E8 engaging the Schofield tank.”

“Uh, just a reminder for you folks, the M4A1E8 and the Schofield happen to be the flag tanks for both sides. The Schofield has a respectable speed and armament, at least with that Littlejohn Adaptor on the end of that 2 pounder.”

“What do you think’s going on, Brookes?”

“Probably some prodding, recon. Nothing too out of the ordinary.”

You watch as the Schofield quickly runs away and into the maze of the hedgerows.

“Right, Cotton, I gotta tell you something. Christie appears to be taking the defensive here. Their line up isn’t exactly an offensive one because of how varied it is, it’s not going to last long against a more solid line up like Saunders.”

“That’s right, Brookes, they’ll be torn to pieces in the open. However-“

The first E8 which met the Schofield, now flanked by two others, is thrown aside by a huge explosion.

“That SU-14-2 is doing some amazing work! What’s the armament on that thing?”

“Uh… according to our technical specs, it’s either a 203 or a 152mm gun.”

“Well, it’s just digging tunnels!”

The Shermans quickly recover from the blast and set off on their previous course. Another screen shows a sneaky maneuver by Christie as well, a Kugelblitz starts towing some logs to throw up a bunch of dust.

“What are they doing?” you ask.

Kate says, “It’s a trick. You throw up a lot of dust to fake movement.”

Saunders is apparently falling for it as the Shermans peel off from their original course to pursue the dust cloud. The rest of the Shermans are divided into groups like the first three, with the Jumbo defending the flag tank way in the back hidden in a nearby forest. Meanwhile, the E-100 slowly lumbers through the field, crushing hedgerow after hedgerow and destroying roads like no one’s business.

“That E-100,” you say. “Daaamn.”

You receive a new phonecall.

Might want to forget the Tiger2, if we don't make enough money in the next two days.

>>29444452
>> Keep Watching

>>29444506
IF we can hold onto it until Monday, we'll get an additional 10,000 (2x 5,000) from sponsors, which should be enough for a TigerII

>>29444452
Hmm, maybe we should spend it on a new tank in the shop? After sponsorship money on Monday, we'll have nearly enough for the Tiger II, and I'm sure we could scrape together the difference.

After all, we're running low on empty tanks and have potential crews about.

There is no Tiger I in the shop, there is a Tiger II, that we have wish listed for the purpose of buying

where the fuck have you been the last 5 threads...

>>29444751
Then maybe you should stop making suggestions and instead start asking questions.

>>29444751
Then I would politely suggest that you read up on the mechanics at the top instead and look at what position we're in before making suggestions of your own.

>>29444751
so then say so, and we can fill you in on the situation and you won't make a fool of yourself when talking out your arse about important decisions you've not bothered to think about

We should just use the money to buy the 35(t). We probably won't have all 10k by Monday, and we'll need more empty tanks for all the crews we'll be bringing in.
We'll have very nearly enough money on Monday and I'd be shocked if we can't pull together the little bit of money before the match.

>>29444751
>>29444705

>>29444754

No, we're not going to just randomly impulse buy shitty tanks because there might be a slight interuption in the plan.

We've thought this through, discussed it at great length for several threads, and we're not going to fuck it up now by being impulsive indecisive morons.

We are going to get enough money for the Tiger II ASAP, we are going to buy it, then we are going to put everything else we get into upgrading our mediums to latewar variants, and whatever is left is to go towards winning the recall election

>>29444826

What tank crews? The nearest one that looks to be recruitable are the Theater Tech crew, and they're not avaliable until the play is over. And once we get the Tiger II the Panzer IV becomes a spare anyway. I have no idea where this paranoia that we don't have enough tanks come from.

>>29444841
>most of them preffered
They had no choice in the matter.

Otto Carius was a loader in a 38(t), got injured, and then got selected for Tiger I training, he used one of them until he got pulled back and put into a Jagdtiger.

All the while he used what he was given.

Also, what makes you think the thoughts of long dead aces impact our current situation, when there is no Tiger I available.

Please, don't just randomly jump into the quest and go "Hey guys, we should get this tank we can't get, and I have no idea what our situation is or what we've planned to do for many threads!"

>>29444827
Because knowing what you are talking about makes you a wehraboo. Sure thing, troll.

>>29444841
Might be. Never looked it up.

>>29444861
Troll then.

>>29444826
No.

>>29444890
I'm not sure putting the Aces into the Tiger 2 isn't a tremendous waste.

>>29444870
Fucking this, we've been planning this for far too long to let one stupid anon fuck it all up.

Stick to the plan gentlemen, you don't want to turn into Shadow Quest where we spend 3 threads creating an intricate plan, then at the last second go "FUCK IT CHARGE IT" and ruin everything.

>>29444927

Well, Otto Carius at least still seems to be alive, Schteel used his pic when we were visiting Octavia's grandad in the pharmacy.

>>29444927
Once again no they had no choice in the matter and i know that, but the ones who served in both Tiger 1s and 2s preffered the tiger 1 according to what i've read, sorry i didnt explain this better but you guys are taking this stuff way too seriously.

>>29444994
It doesn't matter.

>>29444966
>I'm not sure putting the Aces into the Tiger 2 isn't a tremendous waste.

I'm talking about people's propensity to go WE NEEDZ MOAR TANKZ FOR CREWZ when we've filled our quota and the available potential tank crews are pretty far in the future at least.

> Keep Watching

You ask Lisa, “Is our money safe?”

Lisa nods. “Should be. Our Tankery budget at least. Fredendall still has access to the Class Treasury. That I couldn’t work around.”

You nod. “Also, any of you guys heard of a Bakery around here?”

Everyone shakes their head. Hm, you didn’t realize you even had a Bakery. Oh well, might be worth a visit later. Time to watch the match. It appears Saunders has gotten into an engagement with the E-100.

“And here we have it, Brookes. 4 Shermans engaging the E-100. Unfortunately for Saunders and Christie the terrain is nobody’s advantage. Hedegrows, a very soft road, all that junk are keeping the advantages afforded to both parties down low.”

“That’s right, Cotton. Look at the E-100 presenting its frontal face to Saunders. They might as be shooting spitwads at it.”

Every shot fired by a 76 bounces off the E-100’s frontal face. The E-100 begins advancing on the Shermans, which have begun retreating. It fires, knocking a Sherman onto its side for a knockout.

“Oooohh! That’s gotta hurt!” The E-100 begins crawling to a halt, then begins listing to the side. “Cotton, are you seeing this?”

“Yep, the E-100 is sinking right into a ditch.”

The ground gives way as the E-100 loses control and slides right a ditch by the side of the road. The Shermans quickly peel away out of the E-100’s gun depression.

“Man, that’s the problem with these German superheavies. Way, WAY too heavy. Think they’ll get it out in time?”

“All the Kings horses and all the Kings men couldn’t save that E-100.”

>>29445031
Well. We DO need more tanks and we could always go recruit more crews.

>>29444994

Your looking at this too narrow minded, many many factors influenced their opinions during two very different periods in the war, with two very different situations in terms of logistics and support and training.

The two cannot be compared during such times.

Also, none of that matters to this right now.

Please, take the time to read the pastebins at the top of the thread, understand the situation the characters are in, get a handle on the story, and maybe you won't get shouted at for being ignorant and trying to ruin all our plans

Meanwhile, it appears Christie has actually found the position of Saunders’ flag tank. The Excelsior tank and the M3 Lee CDL move to engage it in the forest. The M4A1E8 bugs out as the Sherman engages both tanks.

“Now, Brookes. I don’t think the Excelsior and the M3 CDL can take on a Jumbo in straight fight. What do you think is going on here?”

“I’m not sure myself, Cotton. Maybe you can think of something?”

“I think what’s happening is that Christie is trying to draw out the Flag tank at the risk of two of their own. They have the more mobile Schofield and the Kugelblitz are still running around, both could probably get a decent track shot and they both happen to be within a kilometer of that M4A1. If they can slow down that flag tank, they have a shot at winning.”

“Oh, it’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays for them.”

The M4A1E8 runs off into the open, the Schofield and the Kugelblitz pop up at a nearby hill and begin taking potshots at it. The Churchill, the TOG II, the LVT, and the Matilda all break cover in the hedgerows and begin converging. The M4A1 turns its turret and begins aiming.

“Oh! Cotton! Both flag tanks are exposed here! One shot could end this match!”

The M4A1 fires, splashing short of the Schofield.

“OH! SO CLOSE!”

Everyone is on the seat of their pants, or skirts if you think about it. Nancy looks over at you. “Who do you think has this? Saunders or Christie?”

>>29445017
ooooooookay so i disprove your theory so you decide it doesnt matter, okay whateva peace out good fold. redguardmasterraceforlyfe.

Except it's not this horribly pressing thing that overrides all current priorities that people like to portray. We have the minimum of ten crews, and I'm sure people can wait until monday to sort shit out.

DEATH TO HERETEKS!

>>29445085
I'm not even involved in that argument but now you're just sounding like a cunt, everything you've presented for your argument, has no bearing whatsoever on this quest, and our choices, you just jumped in here and started spouting random nonsense vaguely related by subject matter.

exactly, we've met the minimum requriements, we're fine for now, we shouldnt be getting our shadowruns in a twist and fuck up all our plans at this stage
