You are Gertrude Pool, Sophomore Class President and new commander of Lafayette Girls Academy’s revived Tankery Team.

> From: Piper Blancbois
> To: Gertrude Pool LGA, Oryola Kuznetsov KGB, Miho Nishizumi OGA

> You are invited to dinner on this Friday, December 6th, at 6:00 PM aboard Konigsberg Academy! As the Elite Four of the tournament, I will be looking forward to seeing you all come aboard and discuss the affairs of tanks, education, and in general get to know each other better. As Panzerfahren demands, we make war without hate! Feel free to invite your crews and bring any dates if you would like!

> I look forward to seeing you there! Please write back if you are unable to attend, we understand!

> Good luck and goodbye!


You read the email off as you serve dinner to the two girls. They appear to be very out of it today, but you suppose you can beat them out of it with Tankery Practice. You’ll have to consider her invite, this Blancbois character certainly seems like a person to know.

Kitten lazily eats her pancake. “So, dinner with the Germans, huh?” Fairless simply nods off at the table.

Pancakes for dinner?

Also do we get a discount for the Pershing by equiping the shurzen and improved engines?

“And the Russians, don’t forget the Russians.” You gently grab Kitten’s jaw and chew her food. “Come on, Kitten. Eat your food like a lady or you’ll never get as big as either me or Bernadette.”

Fairless blinks, rousing. “Huh, what?”

Kitten glances down at Fairless’ chest, then sighs and starts gorging her food down.

“Besides!” you say as you sit down at the table. “They seem nice enough. And hell, we might even learn something from them, they’ve been at this Tankery business longer than we have at least.”

All of you eat up breakfast relatively quickly. You’ve considered just taking a vacation day to help Mr. Mishka with tanks, after all, you somehow managed to catch up with the work you missed out. But, you wonder if that’s just the drop in the ocean compared to the work you’ll miss for after you win the tournament. You shudder. That’s not going to be fun.

You three leave the dorm and meet with your staff. Nancy smiles. “Bernadette, Gertrude, Kitten! It’s nice to see you all! I trust you slept well?”

“Like a corpse with two big fluffy teddy bears!” you say. The two of them grumble a bit. What’s their deal? “Where are the Japanese students?”

Nancy says, “Oh, they’re using one of their allotted vacation days to visit Mr. Mishka in his shop. Something about wanting to get familiar with their T-34 before the match.”

You nod. “Seems fair. Let’s head on then.”

Gotta get some mileage out of that engineering book. At the very least attaching the add-on parts to the Persh would save Mr. Mishka some time later, and it's an easy enough task that Huxley already showed to us.

Though, I thought Nancy told us that BFP setup a side-by-side training session or something?

“Hey, Nancy, did you find anyone willing to take us on in a practice match?”

Nancy says, “I called Ace Levy earlier. She said she was free next week!” Hm. You haven’t heard from Ace Levy in a while actually. Might be a good time to call her later, see how things are. You might even be able to check in on Eugene.

“Also, Black Forest Peak said they would be willing to a joint practice session with us.”

You say, “I’ll have to consult Nezumi on what the average practice session with BFP is like. I’m going to guess it’s somewhere between joining the Marine Corps and joining the Navy seals.”

Lisa says, “Now, Boss, it shouldn’t be that bad. I mean, they take tanks seriously, but it’s not like anybody dies.” She shrugs. “Then again, they almost let a crew drown to win a match but… yeah.”

You arrive at school. “Anyway guys! This is goodbye, I’m going to head to the shop.”

“Right,” says Fairless. “We’ll bring you lunch alright?”

Kitten says, “I’ll-“

“We’ll-“ Fairless hushes her. “Figure out something for you to eat.”

You nod, turning away. “Right, see you guys.”

With that, you get on the march towards the Tank Shop. It seems like yesterday you were just walking in there to see what was what in buying new tanks. Quite a few of your tanks are gifts actually. You can’t remember which ones you purchased and which ones you actually bought with your own hard earned money.

But, you arrive there in good time. Mr. Mishka greets you at the counter, old man that he is. “Gertrude! You’ve come to help with my tanks?”

“Of course, Mr. Miskha! I figure, why not? It’s not like it’s hard work anyway!”

Mr. Mishka smirks, standing up, grabbing a cane. He’s never walked with a cane before. He hobbles over to the door. “Well, I tell you what. The Japanese came over just a few minutes before you did, and already they’re arguing about the T-34. How it’s inefficient, thin armor, lousy gun, etcetera. You know, it’s the tank I rode in the war but I tend to drown it out.”

“How?”

“Same way I drowned out my Driver,” he says. “But nodding and saying Da occasionally.” He laughs heartily at that.

You both walk in, and he leads you through the warehouse. “How come you’re walking with a cane?”

“Oh, I had a bit of a fall a little earlier,” he says. “Hit my hip, and now I limp like some old school gangster.”

You frown. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Hey, you didn’t push me down those stairs,” he says. “Hehe! Don’t be sorry for me. You’ve got the tournament to think about. Hell, I’m just a man sucking money from an innocent little high school girl.” He points down the line where Huxley is working attaching the Spaced Armor to the Pershing, and the Japanese girls are shouting at each other in Japanese save for Assam who stands there sipping tea. “Go on, I’ll be in the shop.”

You cross your arms as you walk up to the girls. “Alright, what seems to be the problem?”

Nezumi says, “We cannot agree on a name.”

You blink. “A name?”

“A name for the Panzer!” says Izumi. She gestures to the T-34/85. “Mind you, we do not really like using a T-34, it just seems so… ew.”

“But-“ Alisa butts in, with markers and spray paint. “It is bad luck not to drive a tank into battle without first giving it a name! It would really explain why we have had such bad luck with the T-34, it doesn’t have a name!”

Assam says, “Sure. That’s the reason.”

Nezumi says, “I wanted Ostwind! From the vast corners of the Eastern Steppe comes this great lumbering scrap pile!”

Alisa says, “I wanted Ivan.” All of you stare at her. “Because… Ivan. Yeah.”

Izumi says, “I wanted to name it Mikasa. After the flagship of Admiral Togo Heihachiro during the Russo-Japanese war.”

“Why not just name it Togo?” says Nezumi.

Izumi stomps her foot, indignant. “Because that is not threatening enough!”

Assam shrugs. “You know, why not give it a more aggressive um…” She scratches her chin. “More… intelligent, something with i in it. Lowercase i of course. The… Mako…i…Aquila… Stab!”

“Assam, this is a Top Gear joke, isn’t it?” says Nezumi. Assam nods, hopeful. “We don’t watch Top Gear.

Assam pouts. “You’re missing out.”

In all seriousness, Fairless has said that she and Kitten really need to coordinate on bringing lunches for Trude. I'm happy that she's actually being proactive: she's a very reserved person that has to usually be pressed into doing things, so this is a big step forward for her as a person.

All right, enough about boobs, time to talk about tanks. I spent a few hours last night thinking about what Konigsberg will likely be up to, and how to counter them. Feel free to comment and/or mock however you may feel is necessary.

Facts:

Konigsberg has been deliberately fielding only five tanks (Tiger II, three Tigers, Panzer IV)

They have thirteen Elite tanks (Panzerbefehlswagen Tiger II, Four Tigers, Panzerbeferhlswagen Panther H, Panther Ausf A, Panzer Ausf H, Stug III Ausf G, Stug IV, Jagdpanzer IV/70, Panzerbefehlswagen Panzer II Ausf K)

The rest are Vintage.

They are having problems with recruitment, and have pretty much drafted loads of Freshmen but don't have enough for full crews.

Conclusions and strategy prediction:

They are likely going to have fifteen rookie crews, eight of which are in Elite tanks and the rest in tanks possibly brought up to Comp Spec. Since they are inexperienced they will likely not be engaging heavily in forests, preferring to stay in areas more easily manuevered in. This will mean they will likely be used as a HUGE distraction in the central, flatter areas.

The remaining five will likely be coordinating the rookies and each other, since they are all command vehicles with good comms (likely the source of their fortune, if they are able to communicate effectively).

Since they are likely experts at coordinating small tank units, they will probably be sneak attacking in the forest, trying to go around the conflict the rookies cause to seek and destroy our flag vehicle.

File: konigmap-combinedwplan.jpg (373 KB, 1700x780)

>>33209544
Proposed strategy:

Divide into four main groups. First group is the central vanguard who will secure the town of Gespunsart and force an engagement with the rookie force. They are a distraction, but a deadly distraction with fifteen tanks. Charlotte is the recommended officer in charge of this group, and there should be another officer with her for a total of eight tanks (recommending Cathy due to resilience). Second group will be on the wooded ridge south of Gespunsart who will prevent groups from moving through there and provide support to the central vanguard. The four most accurate tanks should be here, led by Kate. The third group is the northern screen, and should be handled by two officers (Trude and one other) with six tanks. They are to prevent tanks from sneaking around the northern forest, as it is the largest forested area. The final group is Fairless's flag tank and one other tank to act as guard and support, who will hole up in Neufmanil until otherwise instructed. They are to remain hidden in the town to prevent tanks who sneak through the forest from sniping them, and be prepared to retreat either north or south.

Possible problems with strategy are as follows: reaching and securing Gespunsart first (Charlotte and Marina will definitely reach there first, but Konigsberg has a slightly shorter distance to there and it depends on them being inexperienced enough to slow them down), detecting tanks in the forest (southern forest should actually be simple, as it has good elevation and a clear line of sight, but the northern forest is large, has many presumed paths, and the forest will shorten the distance able to detect tanks via sound), deploying tanks in right location (long barreled tanks have to be careful in forests), defeating tanks in central area (rookie crews, but those crews are sometimes the most deadly), assuming Konigsberg will act as we are predicting them to (duh).
>>
>>33209544

Morale should be easy to influence on the rookies. Aggression against them should break them easily.

You yell, “Hey, Mr. Mishka!” Mr. Mishka pokes his head in. “Can we name this T-34 after you?”

Mr. Mishka says, “Why would you want to name it after me? I didn’t do anything!”

Nezumi shrugs. “I suppose we can name it after him. Mishka-san has been quite informative in the workings of a T-34.”

“Yeah!” says Alisa. “Former communist he may be but I admire his experience! We’d be honored to name this tank after him!”

“But I didn’t do anything!” says Mr. Mishka. “All I did was load stuff!”

Izumi nods, smiling. “Mr. Mishka would be a good name for a tank.”

“Ah, whatever, it’s not like kids these days listen to their elders,” says Mr. Mishka as he walks back into his shop. “Do what you want!”

Assam nods. “It’s settled then.”

With that, Alisa carefully paints the name on the side of the turret.

> T-34/85 MODEL 1944 IS NOW NAMED “Mr. Mishka”.

“Right,” says Nezumi. “We shall get to work!”



Alisa says, “You have no idea how to work on an M8 Scott, do you?” They all shake their heads. Alisa sighs, facepalming. “I suppose I can show you.”

You look around. Huxley is working on the Churchill “Earl”, the Japanese girls are working on the M8A1 Scott, “Szarik.”

If it was me, I wouldn't bother fielding the vintages. Too prone to breakdown on already finicky machines.
Thirteen Elites (holy shiieet) frees up more crews to augment an already depleted roster and are more than enough to wipe the floor with LGA.

And depending on the range of the Pershing's 105 as indirect fire, I'm thinking it needs to be slightly closer. Just keep it obstructed from Konig's line of sight. Otherwise, it's a sound plan.

I also think we should put some effort into flag hunting this time, though I'm guessing that's what Trudy and Samantha are for.
>>
>>33209836
The reason why I suspect they're fielding vintages (or trying to at least make them comp spec) is because Piper declared during Ramirez's sneaking mission that they were going to field an entire team. The reason why I'm suggesting a defensive plan is a. it's worked pretty well for LGA so far and b. I think they're going to be hunting as well, and I'd rather catch them with a screen than roam around looking for them.

Still working on making a sheet for the icons. There's several that don't have an icon yet.
>>
>>33209836
Thirteen Elites would probably wreck us, yes.
But do remembeer that most of those will have inexperienced teams as crew.
>>
>>33209836
I'd field them, I just wouldn't rely on them. Extra targets, extra shots, meat sheilds. Its cold, but they're probably getting a little desperate.

You and Huxley start work on the turret ring, greasing it up and what not. Huxley cranes the turret up and away, allowing you access into the interior as well. You say, “So, Huxley. You going to the Winter Ball? Taking anyone special?”

Huxley says, “Was thinking on asking out Lisa but honestly I think I might ju-“

“Stop talking,” you say. Huxley quirks his brow. “Just ask her out! It’ll be fun! She hasn’t had a nice guy to talk to, at least not since Homecoming.”

Huxley grunts. “Gertrude, in my honest experience, girls don’t like nice guys.”

You nod. “Yeah, we don’t like complete fucking doormats who cater to our every whim and act like a neckbearded moron who can’t think for himself and can’t make the first move. I’m so sad that that serves as what a nice guy is by definition. Girls like confidence! Show her you’re confident! It’s why girls like me are attracted to complete douchebags!”

Huxley shrugs, handing you a wrench. “I suppose.”

“Good!” you say. “Ask her out when you get the time, then show her the night of her life!”

“Like…” Huxley snaps his finger, smiling. “A ride around on my Kettenkrad and a nice dinner, how about that?”

You nod. “It’s a good start. What is it with people and the Kettenkrad?”

“It’s a nice bike-tank thingamajig,” says Huxley. “You should get one yourself.”

“Ah, I’m terrible at driving,” you say.

“How terrible?”

“Well, let’s just say my driving instructor didn’t appreciate being hosed down by the Fire Department.”

“Ah, I can see why.”

With that, you look over to see Fairless and Kitten, bringing you some bagged lunch. “Bernadette cooked it,” says Kitten.

“Sweet!” you say.

Okay, these are the ones I have found. I don't know if the tanks listed are accurate aside from the officers and Bernadette's (which is the one I made myself), and there are six teams that don't have icons made. Still, all of the officers have them, which is the most important part.

Just worried that we'll have a repeat performance like with Pravda. We did engage the bulk of their force, and though it was a victory, it was too close for comfort since we sustained almost equal losses.

Down the wire matches sure are exciting, but the stakes are too high considering the force we're up against.

The match against Pravda actually swung in our favor, we just made a mistake in not completely securing the higher ground (there were still two routes up there and we knew all but the flag were accounted for) and we didn't send our rearguard flag hunting. Other than that we did very well against Pravda. It's going to be harder this time because it will be MUCH easier for them to sneak around.

That said, I am not married to the plan I made at all. I'm, at best, a layman when it comes to tanks and how to use them, and I know there's probably better ways to go about this fight. If there's a way to effectively and efficiently hunt their flag down without putting our own flag at risk then I'm all for it.
>>
>>33210052
Nah. Too much work for me, especially since I don't know if it would be useful. I say let other people have fun with it.

> Have Lunch

You, the Japanese Girls, Fairless, Kitten, and Huxley sit down to have lunch. You ask Huxley, “So, at this rate, you think the tanks will be ready before the match?” Everyone brought their own lunches thankfully, which means all you have to do is share Fairless’ between you, her, and Kitten. It’s a bologna sandwich with some lettuce and mayo and some fries. Simple, but you can tell Fairless put some effort in making it presentable.

Huxley nods. “Yeah, the help you girls are providing has been invaluable if I do say so myself.”

Nezumi pats her chest, grinning proudly. “We are happy to help those who cannot help themselves! That is the way of Black Forest Peak!”

“Is it really?” asks Assam.

“No,” says Nezumi. “But I like to think it is.”

You ask Fairless, “So, was it hard putting this stuff together?”

Fairless says, “Just the fries. I decided on the sandwich because I couldn’t think of anything good to cook quickly.”

Kitten says, “I had to help with the fries.”

“Clearly,” you say smugly. Kitten nudges you on the arm, playfully. “But I’m glad to see you two are finally getting along swimmingly. I was worried you two might be in some kind of rivalry over something.”

They grimace for a second, then nod, smiling. “Eh…”

You tilt your head. “Eh, what?”

Kitten says, “Eh… as in Canada! Yeah, we’re practicing Canadian accents.”

Huxley says, “I know a guy from Canada, they don’t always say eh at the end of their sentence.”

“Well, yeah,” says Fairless. “But, no, it’s nothing to be concerned about, Gertrude.”

With that, you return to work. You decide to oversee the Japanese girls as they make the finishing touches on the M8A1 Scott.

Nezumi says, “Alisa, can you help me?” Alisa pokes her head into the turret. “I can’t seem to line up the sights properly.”

Alisa says, “That’s understandable.” Alisa drops down next to Nezumi and starts fiddling with the gunsights. “The M8 is more optimized for the Howitzer 75mm, not the tank gun 75. Just needs a bit of fine work.”

Izumi and Assam meanwhile work on the engine. Assam says, “Hey. Do you want to hear a joke?”

“No, Assam-san,” says Izumi as she wrenches the engine.

“The United States all got red cards when they arrived at the World Cup. Do you know why?”

Izumi sighs. “Why?”

“Because they thought they were playing football.” She giggles a bit, then sips on her gunpowder tea.

Nezumi pokes her head out. “Oh, Pool-sensei. I forgot to ask. We have practice today, yes?”

You nod. “Yeah. That’ll be that. Hopefully everyone’s got the word out.”

Nezumi says, “Good! We will show Kniep-senpai how to survive in the woods!”

Huxley looks back at her. “You planning on going innawoods? You’re nuts.”

Izumi laughs. “Nonsense! We have already packed and are ready to spend the night in the woods and show your team that we can in fact work together well!”

You say, “I’ll go with you. We’ll bring Gordon along as well.”

“Who is Gordon?” asks Nezumi.

“One of the Girl Scouts, a bit of a survivalist. But she’s handy.”

Alisa says, “Oh, it’ll be fine. If it’s anything like the woods back on Saunders, all we will meet will be deer and the occasional squirrel.”

“Well,” you say. “Our wood is technically classified as a wildlife reserve. We have plenty of stuff. Deer, bears, pumas, wolves, squirrels, chipmunks, beavers, the works.”

They all stare at you, dumbstruck.



Nezumi says, “Whose idea was this?”

“Yours,” says Assam simply.

With that, you check the time. It appears school is over at this point.

We could use a couple--skinwalkers are a definite threat, but bears and cougars can be deadly, too--especially rabid cougars.

It'd be a good idea to tote along a a shotgun and a couple handy carbines--maybe SKS's or M1 Carbines.

Yeah. We went there as a high school field trip, and my friend ran out of those snacks you see in that picture. The deer weren't pleased by it.

Anyways, so we're back in the hotel room and my friend is in the shower and he shouts out "Hey, take a look at this!". I tell him that I'm not looking at his penis, and he's like "no, really, look at this!". One of the deer bit hard enough through his shirt to draw blood.

You all head to the Tankery HQ, leaving Huxley and Mr. Mishka to finish up the work. Should be done soon you hope.

And with that, you arrive at the Tankery HQ. The Loaders are already having one of their more infamous competitions with Wendy. This time, it’s to see who can do push ups with the most weight.

And so far, Wendy has a 240mm Shell strapped to her back and pulling push ups as if it wasn’t there. While Elouise has a 152mm shell and is struggling to even get up.

“This sucks!” screams Elouise, the sweat beading down her face. “How the fuck are you good at this!?”

“How are you so bad at this?” says Wendy in response. You can actually detect a hint of a smile. That’s a first.

Kate says, “Right. First thing’s first. We’re going back to Marshall Ney forest, and we’ll work on our ability to cross that terrain. We only have today to work on it, so you all need to listen up and pay attention to what we say, got it?”

You all run through the woods. Wendy is leading you on through a different path this time, to make sure you all didn’t get used to the previous one and just to make things more difficult. Figures.

Clara yells, “This sucks!

Wendy says, “Life sucks! Keep moving!”

You pant, the cold gripping at your lungs. This really does suck.

Joanna smiles, running next to you. She doesn’t even seem to be winded. “Tired?”

“Not on your life!” you yell at her.

“Drive, Lisa! Nancy! Keep the gun level!” you say. Ramirez quickly loads in a round of HVAP.

“Yeah!” The tank shakes and rumbles as you speed through the forest. You’re chasing after a very particular tank. The Type 97 Short Barrel Chi-Ha being driven by Joanna. Say what you will about Japanese tanks, but for whatever reason, Joanna’s having an amazing time dodging and ducking with her sawn off 120mm barrel and that suspension which refuses to break even going over logs and bumps at full speed.

The rest of the team joins in as well. Well, most of the rest of the team. The others are busy trying to catch up and not get caught between trees. It seems contrary to popular belief, tanks cannot just rip down trees and run them over.

The S35 runs into a tree itself, and even manages to knock itself out.

> KO: SOMUA S35 (Y) (ELITE) “Ross”

“Fuck!” yells Anna over the radio.

“I got a shot!” yells Nancy. You look through the periscope. Only 100 meters away, but there’s a shit ton of trees masking the movement of the Chi-Ha.

“Fire!” you yell.

Suddenly, the turret spins around, knocking you all out of your seats. Lisa brakes hard.

Kitten yells, “Are you guys alright?”

You pop out of the hatch. It appears your gun has caught on a tree.

Note to self: Do not travel full speed in a forest.

You get busy fishing the T-34/85 out of a ditch. Thankfully, they didn’t bend the barrel or anything, but so far, Marshall Ney Forest has proven to be quite the adversary to your tanks so far.

“Say, Barkas,” you say. Barkas looks at you as you pull the cable. “How’s that script coming along?”

“Gertrude, please,” says Barkas. “Y’all are just killing me.”

“Come on!” you say. “I’m interested in the writing process.”

“Well, let me put it like this,” she says. “It’s throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. I can’t make anything stick, anything develop properly. It’s just… murder on my brain.”

Sykes says, “You’re better off just doing stagework, Georgine.”

“Of course,” says Barkas.

You all sit around, having returned to the classroom.

“Camouflage,” says Wendy. “It will be very important to the workings of how we manage this battle. We will need camo nets, shrubs, we need to paint the tanks. Does anyone know what the weather is like in Belgium?” They all shake their heads. “Neither do I.”

Kate says, “Point is, everyone has to take it slow when you’re in a forest. No faster than 10 or 15 miles an hour. 20 at most if you’re going after someone. The faster you go in a forest, the great chance you have at seriously damaging your own tank in some obstacle that you didn’t see.”

“Indeed,” says Wendy. “And do not be afraid to dismount from your tanks, I imagine Konigsberg will do the same. Currently for the ITL, there are very lax rules in place for crews exiting the tank during battle, as long as they do not leave the field and one person remains in the tank. Visibility and awareness will win this fight. I assure you.”

Charlotte raises her hand. “What about the town in the center of the map?”

“As usual, take it slow,” says Kate. “You all need to learn that. We can take it slow, and no rushing head long into anything.”

They all nod. “Right.”

With that, practice is ended. Kate gives you her report.

The entire team will move out to the harbour area marked with a triangle with the exception of the Hellcat. The Hellcat will move along the light blue route to the south (ignore the light blue in the north.)

Upon reaching the harbour position, the team with the exception of the Cromwell and the M8 will form a triangular harbour area. Three crew members will dismount with binoculars and radios, and run to the foot scout positions marked 1, 2 and 3.

The Cromwell and M8 will move along their scout routes to the north. The Cromwell will be the first to detach, leaving the M8. It will take position at the ridgeline and observe an arc from the east to the south-west.

By this time, the Hellcat will have arrived at its destination. They will observe an arc from the north to the southwest. If visibility to the north is poor, they may deploy one foot scout.

The M8 will stop at the square and observe the hilltops and valleys in their arc. They will deploy one foot scout to the south.

Once enemy tanks are detected, we will withdraw any redundant scouts and try to build up a solid image of enemy forces and movements. From there we can either bait them into an ambush or launch many small assaults and retreat each time - death by a thousand cuts.

Now this plan has a better safety margin for us that capitalizes on the weakness of the German heavies.
Could also be adjusted to swing for the flag, if the opportunity presents itself.

Lots of micromanaging though, and multiple anons don't handle that very well.

Also, I wouldn't recommend the Cromwell for this task. The Juniors aren't Loyal yet, and with their morale, they are prone to Frenzying. Needlepoint and their S35 have plenty of scouting experience already, so it's fine to relegate this to them.

“Did anyone manage to raise any money?” You and Lisa talk whilst in the showers with the rest of the crews.

Lisa shakes her head. “Nah. Everyone was busy with Thanksgiving. The Sewing Club actually raised a decent amount of money from the Fashion Show. They already wired the money this morning.”

> + 15,000 DOLLARS

“Other than that, even the Girl Scouts had trouble. They actually did raise a lot of money, but all of it went to charity.”

You groan. “D’oh… I’m disappointed but… I shouldn’t be, what charity was it?”

“Breast cancer,” says Lisa.

“Fuuuu-“

Meanwhile.

Betty says, “So, Georgia, how are you enjoying Tankery?”

“It’s fun!” says Georgia. “It’s not fun being the Loader though.”

Marilynn says, “Well, too bad. I wasn’t going to chip my nails handling those shells forever you know!”

Georgia says, “Lazy, lazy. You know, I oughta to write a column about that.”

Of course. Once that’s done, you all head out of the shower. The Polish and the Sewing Club wipe down their tanks busily. Szarik in particular has just gotten out from being upgraded, with the Churchill not too far behind.

The T-34/85 rolls up next to you, Sarah Gordon riding atop the turret. “Hey, Gertrude. Ready to roll out?”

My concern is that the scouts won't reach their positions in time. It would be a safe assumption that tanks traveling the paths will need twice the amount of time. By the time the scouts reach their positions, the M8 in particular, the opposing tanks will have already rolled by.

The M8 will be able to catch any tanks flanking north, and if the tanks do roll past it can lie in wait behind them where it is less likely to be noticed. It could even pop off one shot and try to knock out a lightly armoured tanks.

You hop onto the T-34/85. “On the bounce!”

You wave goodbye to everyone as the T-34/85 rolls out of the hangar and out onto the road towards Marshall Ney Forest.

“So!” you say over the engine noise to Gordon. “How well are you prepared?”

Gordon says, “I’ve got my hunting knife and a crossbow with five bolts. That’s about it really.” She shrugs. “We’ll rough it.”

“What about the Japanese?” you ask.

Gordon says, “They’ve got a tent and stuff… honestly, they seem a bit naïve on camping during winter. It’s going to be cold as fuck during the night, especially on an Academyship that’s basically the size of a mountain.”

You shrug. “Of course.”

You arrive at Marshall Ney Forest. The girls pop the hatches and peek out. Nezumi says, “It’s your call, sensei. Should we go further in?”

“TAKE US IN! IZUMI!” you yell.

The T-34 speeds into the forest. You and Sarah Gordon head into the tank to avoid getting hit by branches and trees. It’s a bit crowded, but you find room in between Gordon’s breasts and the 85mm shells.

Izumi squints hard. It’s quite dark in the tank actually without internal lights. “I can’t see anything!” yells Izumi.

Nezumi braces herself on the turret with Alisa. “Just keep rolling, Izumi!”

Then the tank shudders to a halt, you all fall forward at a 45 degree angle.

“What was that!?” yells Izumi.

You pop the hatches and see what’s what with flashlights. Looks like Izumi has driven the T-34/85 into a very deep gulley. Thankfully, the gun is unharmed but it might take some time to fish it out. You all look around, nothing but trees and woods all around in the darkness of night.

Assam dusts herself off. “Well, it seems we have had enough fun for one night. Perhaps we should return-”

Nezumi says, “Alright. Let’s unpack the tent. If we can still traverse the turret, we can use it to sort of… hang it I suppose.”

Sarah pulls out her knife, then heads out. “I’ll go grab dinner.”

You manage to form a little makeshift tent over the barrel of the T-34/85. Makes a high ceiling thankfully. Much to Izumi’s dismay, the tank cannot pull itself out of the ditch.

“I cannot believe I drove it into a ditch!” yells Izumi.

You all unpack the equipment, which includes a gas lantern, a cooker, some spare sleeping bags, and a blanket for protection against the ground.

Nezumi kneels next to the lantern and lights it up, saying, “Lighten up.”

“Yeah!” says Alisa as she sits next to lantern. “Have you never been camping before?”

You all look at Assam, who is busy setting up miles of bug zappers around her sleeping bag. “Assam-san, what are you doing?” asks Izumi.

Assam brushes her slightly frazzled hair back and says, “I do not like insects.”

You shrug, then pull out your cellphone.

“Hello, Gertrude, need something?”

Okay, now that I'm back home and can properly look at your plan, there are some big problems with it.

First, the dismounted scouts. I believe that German said during one of the matches that you can only dismount your tank if you remain within a hundred meters (I'll have to find it). Those points you want girls to hump to are far beyond a hundred meters: FS1 will have to hump a klick and a half to reach her point.

Second, huddling seventeen tanks in the middle of the woods while three tanks go half way across the playing field to scout is an extremely inefficient waste of resources. In addition, you're not even using the fastest tanks we have, so by the time they reach their points they aren't going to do much good.

Third, you seem like you're trying to force them into forest combat. Something that we're having problems with. Against a group that has murdered groups three times their size, and has more than likely prepared for forest combat.

In short, I would say that this is not a recommended strategy.

“Alright! We’ll get everything squared away. They’ll be ready tomorrow morning.”

With that, you hang up. You look over to see Nezumi trying to light the cooker, Alisa and Izumi looking rather bored out of their minds, and Assam curled up behind her ring of bug zappers.

Suddenly, there’s a howling noise. “NANI!?” Asssam screams in fright. “WH- WHAT WAS THAT!?” Everyone stops what they’re doing.



You sigh. “It’s nothing.”

There’s another howling noise. Everyone screams in fright, retreating into the tent.

Okay, that could be an issue. Instead of sending out the three far scouts, they could be placed at the foot scout positions.

>Huddling seventeen tanks in the middle of the woods
They are arranged in a triangle formation to allow maximum mutual fire support. This creates an unassailable position. The other advantage of a harbour area is it allows crews to dismount safely to maintain their tanks, for us to brief officers more efficiently and various other activities. This defensive capability is only bolstered further by the hilltop positioning.

Forest combat is the exact weakness of their tanks, and we have various tanks that are capable of using forest combat to their advantage. Small, 2 tank attacks to chip away slowly at Koenigsberg is a strategy that will greatly increase our kills:loss ratio.

You grab a tree branch and advance. “Stay back, bitch!” You wield it like a bat, trying not to look scared. You shiver as you stand there and it advances on you.

“Sensei!” Nezumi screams from the tent.

“I’ll be fine!” you say.

It comes closer, and reveals its form. It grows to over three times your size. You look up at the shapeless black form as it towers over you. It gurgles and howls all at once.

“AAAAAHHH!” You whack it with a tree branch.

And it all comes tumbling down.

the fuck

You grab at it, it’s a sheet, a black sheet. You tear it off to reveal Clara Savage and her Cheerleaders. One of them is nursing a mean bruise to the forehead.

Clara laughs, pointing at you, tears in her eyes. “I got you! I got you good didn’t I!? AHAHAHAHAHA!” She turns to her girls. “LAUGH WITH ME, GIRLS!” They all laugh with Clara.

“WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING OUT HERE!? IT’S LIKE 20 DEGREES OR SOME SHIT!”

Clara stands and jabs her finger in your chest. “I HEARD YOU WERE CAMPING AND I WANTED TO MAKE YOU SCREAM!”

“WELL HERE I AM SCREAMING AND NOW I WANT TO KICK YOUR ASS!”

Clara takes off her shirt, revealing her white sports bra. “BRING IT, BITCH!”

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

The Japanese girls peek out of the tent to see you and Clara wrestling each other on the ground, legs locked and hands interlocked as the both of you grapple to have the advantage.

Izumi shudders. “It’s like something out of a doujin.”

Nezumi says, “Maybe we should just retire for the night, girls.”

Assam nods, trying to make herself presentable. “I agree.”

“AAAAAHHHHHH!!!” The both of you scream at each other as you pin Clara down to the ground.

“HOW ABOUT THAT, BITCH!” you yell.



The two of you look over to see something else coming towards the tent. Huge antlers and everything, shambling and hobbling like some sort of zombie.

“Um.” Clara blinks. “What’s that?”

First, it's not going to be as effective because you're trying to create a seventeen tank triangle in a dense forest. That's going to reduce the ability to find and eliminate tanks who attack, as well as make it more difficult to move the tanks around when you need to. If Konigsberg finds you (which it probably will: even in a forest seventeen tanks shouldn't be terribly hard to find unless they're all shut off), then it's more likely your tanks will be picked off before theirs will.

In addition, you're crippling one of the major assets our team has: long range sniping.

> What tanks are faster than the Hellcat, Cromwell and M8 and are suitable for scouting?
Bearcat, whose special ability is "GOTTA GO FAST", and the Delinquents, who can literally be wherever the hell they want on our side of the map at the start of the match (presumably through magic or teleportation via the Warp or something).

> Forest combat is the exact weakness of their tanks, and we have various tanks that are capable of using forest combat to their advantage. Small, 2 tank attacks to chip away slowly at Koenigsberg is a strategy that will greatly increase our kills:loss ratio.

Something you fail to take into consideration is that Konigsberg has been winning all of their matches with five tanks. FIVE tanks. They aren't doing it just because they're Elite, they've been winning because what all of the tanks they've been using have in common is that they're all command tanks with good comms. They are far more capable at small tank unit combat than what you're giving them credit for, and they're going to be the ones chipping away at our team.

You know, a death from a thousand cuts.

Not the other guy but,

While I can see why you would want to camp the strong position there, our opponents have generally bigger guns and better crews. If they fortify in the town then they'll probably win a standoff by better accuracy and firepower.

In addition, they may opt to climb the hill at the bottom of the map and equalize the height difference.

You say, “It’s probably Gordon.”



“EVERYONE INTO THE TENT!” you scream. You all scream as you rush into the tent.

Unfortunately for you, the tent only barely fits about six people. You’re fitting about twenty. Clara has her breasts stuffed in your face. As if this night couldn’t get any worse. Still, Clara has a lot of Cheerleaders at her beck and call and she seems to command quite a bit of leadership from them. That’s admirable at least.

After a minute, Gordon peeks her head in. “The fuck is this? I hunt dinner for ten minutes and you’re all thinking skinwalkers are out and about? Jesus. Come on, someone help me skin this thing.”

You all get out of the tent and watch Gordon drop the giant buck onto the ground. She draws her bloody knife and looks at you, smiling innocently. “So, who wants to help me carve this buck up?”

>point 1
The tanks aren't always going to be remaining there, it just provides us with a secure position to keep tanks not on patrol.
We will be launching various fighting, standing and scouting patrols.

To be able to successfully inflict damage on our harbour area, they'll have to perform a massed attack, negating their small unit advantage.

Long range sniping won't happen regardless of where we are due to the dense forests.

>Bearcat+Delinquents
Both massive tanks, and not ones we want to lose to a botched scouting run.

>five tanks
Skill doesn't stop the fact that they are using many tanks with very long barrels in dense forest. We have the manoeuvrability advantage by a huge margin.
>>
>>33215695
> Clara will do it.
>>
>>33215549
We have an escape route to the north that is unobservable from either town. That would allow us to launch a fighting patrol to dislodge the enemy from the town, or to retreat entirely.

>they may climb the hill
That's about 2-3km range, peak to peak. They won't make a shot at that range through dense forest.

The tanks are Elite. I do admit there is considerable doubt as to their genuine effectiveness but Elite must mean something.

>>33215736
>>33215699
Assuming this is both the same poster...

So this isn't a general strategy of how to win, rather we set up a temporary base camp and launch operations from there?

I'm not opposed to that but your position isn't that great. Again, the town is problematic and if we abandon our position then the enemy will take it etc. etc.

At least have a small force located to the south either on the hill or behind it. If the enemy advance then we have tactical options like flanking rather than trying to rely on a position that is somewhat suspect.

You roll up your sleeves. “Stand back, girls. I got this.” You take the knife from Gordon and kneel down by the deer.

Gordon points to areas where you need to cut. “Stab there, then work your way down there and there.”

You steel yourself, then jab the knife in. Everyone grimaces at the squelchy meaty sound that is emitted. You force the knife downwards, cutting the skin. Izumi vomits at the sight. Clara faints, being caught by the Cheerleaders.

HA, BITCH.

But regardless, you have dinner well cooked and ready. Everyone eats their fill of the venison.

Nezumi sits down next to you. “Pool-sensei.” You look at her, curious. “Um. Can I ask you a question?”

You nod. “Sure, what’s up?”

“… what do you think of me?” she asks. “As… as a commander. I mean. You know- I used to command great heavy tanks, of superior German engineering!” She gestures to Izumi, Assam, and Alisa, who are busy being regaled with stories of Cheerleading by Clara. “And look at all of them. I mean… they get along with each other fine but me…” She frowns. “I feel like they don’t respect me.”

Sorry, I keep forgetting to put my name on for those posts.

>General strategy
Yes, the harbour area is kind of key. However the more general idea is that we operate on a system of fighting, standing and scouting patrols.

Fighting patrols to find and destroy the enemy.

Standing patrols to deny area to the enemy.

Scouting patrols to find enemy numbers and movements.

We have an escape route to the north and west to launch patrols from and retreat through if necessary. Due to their mastery of small unit tactics I do not want to split our forces up.

“If you don’t respect them, they won’t respect you.” Nezumi blinks at that. You continue with, “You respect Maho, right?”

Nezumi nods violently. “Of course, Nishizumi-sama commands great respect! I’ve… I’ve always wanted her to notice me! To allow me to be part of her crew even! I’d kill just to be the hull gunner in the Tiger of Villers-Bocage!”

You nod. “Why do you think she commands that respect?”

Nezumi bites her lip. “Well, skill… and… patience I suppose.”

“And that’s how you win people over,” you say. “With a patient mind and a sound heart. Nezumi, you have to show them that you accept not just their skill, but their faults as well. Once you learn what makes them tick, they’ll become more than just your subordinates. They’ll be your friends.”

Nezumi looks away, pensive. Then nods. She stands. “Alisa-san. Assam-san. Izumi-san.” The three of them look at her. “I must apologize for my abrasiveness. I know it has been hard adapting to life in an American school, where things are quite different from Black Forest Peak. I now know what I must do to help us work better as a team.”

Alisa says, “Study?”

Izumi says, “Pay more attention to our surroundings?”

“No!” Nezumi shakes her head. “I need to be more patient and observant! I need to understand you! So… from this day on! You are not to call me Nezumi-san! Call me Wakuza-san! And I will be your friend from this day on!”

Nezumi frowns at them. “Can you not make it a bit more dramatic?”

Assam stands up, and pats Nezumi on the shoulder. “We are glad to hear this, there is no other way to express it.” She smiles. “Wakuza-san.”

Nezumi smiles at Assam. Gently, they hug each other. You smile at them. Clara smiles at them as well, then smirks at you. You say to Clara, “Don’t think I forgot about what you did, I’m kicking your ass in the morning.”
