Stack, be nice. You may not like Unlimited, but you can't deny that Perrine is a talented engineer.

“Oh, I’ll stay out of this,” you say.

“D’oooooohhhh…” Winona pouts furiously, puffing her cheeks out. She looks over at Stack. “Just you watch though.” Winona points her finger in Stack’s face. “Perrine is gonna be the absolute best when we meet her and you know it!” Stack roll her eyes at that, pulling her socks on. And with that, Winona is quick to grab your wrist and drag you out of the lockerroom. “Come on, Ellie! Let’s leave these losers to their fates!” She starts dragging you out.

Josephina nervously looks around at a very cold Ingrid and Stack. “U- um… bon chance!” she yells to you on the way out.

Denise looks back at you and Winona as you two wait for the red light. “So how come nobody likes Perrine?”

You hold up your hand to quiet a very defense Winona, then say, “Perrine is infamous in the Tankery world because she’s an Unlimited engineer that just broke into the classic world. And now most traditionalists hate her because well… Unlimited is a very flexible sport that allows mix-and-match parts on tanks, or for tanks to be cut apart and be merged into other tanks, basically, no one likes her because they think she doesn’t appreciate tanks for what they are.”

“Hmph.” Winona turns her nose up. “They’re just jealous of her success. I guarantee they wouldn’t be as hateful if she were in last place. But instead last year she took Christie to the postseason!”

“We all know,” you say. Honestly, the way Winona is defending her idol you’re almost kind of expecting Perrine to turn out to be a total basic bitch. You fold your arms as the two of you sit on the back of Denise’s Kettenkrad. “Look, Winona. Before we arrive, could you promise not to embarrass me?”

She salutes you, smiling. “As you wish, master-“

“Yeah, don’t-“ You blush a little, putting your hand on her mouth. “Don’t call me that in public. Ma’am is okay.” She nods, smirking smugly. Ugh, she is getting a kick out of embarrassing you.

Winona takes your hand off, still smiling. “Still, I won’t embarrass you! I’ll only embarrass myself if it comes to that.” That’s not much better, but okay. And with that, you arrive at the GSAG, where in the courtyard waits Gertrude and Griselda Pool, Captain Spruance, Block Officer Hatteberg, Gertrude’s staff, and a few other unrecognizable Naval Studies Officers. “Here we are! Okay!” Winona dismounts and hurries over to the group.

“Oh God…” You mutter as Winona takes care to shake everybody’s hands, surprising them. When you walk over, Gertrude and Griselda are quick to greet you. “Listen, I-“

“No, no, thank you,” says Gertrude. She looks at Winona, who excitedly waits for Perrine to show up. “When you told me over the phone this morning, I didn’t actually believe there were fans of Perrine, you’ve proved me wrong.”

“Is there a bigger reason why we bothered to repaint the school to make it look good though?” you ask.

Griselda sighs. “Rumor, and it’s only rumor. Commissioner of NATO is coming with Perrine too.” What. WHAT. “Nothing solid, honestly, it’s probably only to meet and greet me and Gertrude anyway. You should be fine.” No. NO. THIS ISN’T FINE. NOT AT ALL. “… you don’t look fine.”

You shrug. “I’m not really a fan of surprises.”

“Don’t worry.” Griselda places her hand on your arm, smiling. “It’s not like she’s going to put you on full blast for a tiny mistake you made.” You made a tiny mistake? Where? She giggles at the panic on your face. “I’m just saying, it’ll be fine.”

“Yeah!” says Gertrude. “And from what I hear the Commission is like an old grandma anyway, so it’s not like-“ Suddenly, you hear… electric guitars and a very furious sounding engine in the distance? “Wait, you hear that?” asks Gertrude.

“Yeah, sounds like a Continental R-975 engine!” says Griselda.

“And that music…” Gertrude folds her arms, waiting.

All of you poke your heads around the corner of the GSAG’s walls to see what’s coming down the street. It was a dark blue M39 Armored Utility Vehicle (based off of the M18 Hellcat) with white stripes streaking across the hull. On its glacis was a white castle on it, taken from the Acadiana flag. Blasting from its speakers was AC/DC, and from its engine massive clouds of smoke. Poking out of the driver’s hatch was the girl herself, wearing goggles and a helmet over her red hair.

The tank brakes to a grinding stop in front of the GSAG, sending embers skidding across the ground. Perrine undoes the strap on her helmet, then tosses it inside the tank, and hops out. Wearing a green blazer, white blouse with a red tie, and a plaid miniskirt with blue thigh highs, Perrine walks over. “Hey, hey, hey!” She holds out her arms to Gertrude, grinning wildly. “Gertrude, my boo!” Gertrude simply smiles, holding her arms out as well. Perrine grabs her, then immediately lifts her up in the air in a massive bear hug. “Oh, I missed ya, darling!

“Perrine, you look marvelous!” Gertrude takes a deep breath after that intense bear hug. “Y- you remember my sister.” Griselda blinks, then smiles nervously at Perrine.

“Awww, how could I forgot your cute little sis! C’mere!” Griselda then hugs Perrine. But Perrine, immediately lifts her up as well, choking the air out of her. “Aww, you’ve gotten bigger, GrisGris!” She drops Griselda on her feet, and Griselda immediately stumbles back to you. “So, who are yer friends?”

Gertrude motions to Captain Spruance. “Captain Amy Spruance, and Lieutenant Commander Hatteberg.” Perrine politely shakes hands with them. “Oh, and one of Griselda’s commanders, Elodie Zumwalt.” Winona waits in the back, waiting for her introduction.

“Oooooh!” Perrine smiles at you. “I’ve heard of ya, sweetie! MVP last weekend! Good job!”

You nod. “Oh, it wasn’t just me, it was me and my crew too.” You polite shake hands with her. Oh thank God, you thought you were gonna get crushed. “Um, Winona is actually my big MVP, she’s my gunner over there.” Perrine looks over to see a very gushing and squealing Winona standing in the back. “She’d actually love to meet you.”

Winona can only squeal in embarrassment, amazement, and unadulterated joy.

Perrine gasps, then holds out her arms. “Awww, you are just precious! C’mere, bring it in!” Winona reaches out to her, immediately running over and hugging Perrine. “Awww, that’s it!”

You say, “She’s a really big fan.”

“I can tell!” Perrine pulls away for a second to see Winona’s face, and Winona almost looks to be on the verge of tears. “You wanna take a selfie with me, boo?” Winona nods, squeaking in joy. “Aw, let’s take a selfie!” She pulls out her cellphone, then leans over next to her. “Come on, everyone get in!” You, Captain Spruance, Lieutenant Commander Hatteberg, Gertrude, Griselda, Winona, and Perrine all get into a picture. And with a few snaps of her phone, the moment of Winona meeting her idol is immortalized forever. “Winona, gimme your number so I can send this to you, you and me can talk shop too! I can tell you’re an Unlimited girl!”

Winona looks at you, still squeaking and squealing indescribably. She immediately hands Perrine her phone.

Gertrude laughs a little. “I haven’t seen anybody so excited to see you in a while, Perrine.”

“It’s not often you get to meet fans,” says Perrine as she takes in Winona’s number. “You gonna show me around school or…” All of you look over to see a woman climb out of the M39, dressed smartly in a black business suit. “Oh, that’s Commissioner Durocher.” Oh fuck. “I think she’d want to meet you.”

“Ah, okay.” Gertrude nods. “Uh, Captain Spruance and friends can show you around school. Griselda and I can talk with the Commissioner.”

“Oui!” Perrine happily wraps her arm around a happy Winona and takes her away with the Naval Studies Officers. “Let’s go!”

Griselda looks over at you. “You wanna come with us? We’re gonna meet up later at the Tankery HQ anyway, not sure if you’d want to meet the Commissioner now if you’re too nervous.”

“Oh, no, I can go with you guys,” you say. You look over to Winona. “Winona, I’m going to head out with Gertrude and Griselda, alright?”

Winona squeaks out an affirmative noise, still fawning over Perrine. Captain Spruance looks over at you, pointing to you in particular. “Don’t do anything embarrassing to LGA, now.” Duly noted.

The three of you walk up to the woman, who dusts herself off. “Well, I gotta say.” She brushes back her brown hair, which has a few streaks of grey in it. “Perrine Hobart isn’t exactly gentle on the stick.” She looks at Gertrude. “Gertrude Pool, it’s nice to meet you.”

“You as well, Commissioner. This is Griselda Pool and her sub-officer Elodie Zumwalt,” she says. The two of you bow to her respectfully, as part of Tankery tradition. You get a better look at Commissioner Durocher, an older women, with few wrinkles to her face and what seems to be a permanently attached glare on her face as well. She places her hands on her hips, looking at you two.

“No need to bow to me,” she says.

“Come on,” says Griselda. “We can take my truck to the hangar.” She nods, and the four of you walk down the street aways to where Griselda is parked. “Um, Commissioner, this is a really big surprise you know, dropping in on us.”

“Well, I wanted to visit earlier to confirm personally that your tanks were fitted with the proper judging equipment but I was called away on business.” Durocher takes the passenger seat, while Griselda drives. You and Gertrude sit in the back. “I am sorry if I am imposing on you, especially so soon before a match.”

“No, no, it’s no trouble!” says Griselda. “Not at all!”

Commissioner Durocher looks back at you two. “I especially wanted to meet the little sister of North America’s own Cinderella story.”

[1/2]

>>47154763

“Aw, please, Griselda is more like Beauty and the Beast,” says Gertrude. Is she saying Griselda is ugly? Griselda pulls the truck away onto the street. It’s only a short drive to the Hangar. “So, Commissioner. Can I ask your opinion on how my sister is doing?”

Commissioner Durocher looks forward again. “I’m not allowed to favor or dismiss teams, hurts my impartiality.” Okay, that sounds fair. Gertrude curls her lips, surprised but not deterred. “Griselda, I am told you are only operating with only five crews though, is that true?” Griselda nods. “That’s bold. I assume you have logistics trouble, don’t you.” You all shrug. “Yeah, you do.”

And with that, the short drive actually ends. You pull into the Tankery HQ, and find Oleg hard at work fitting the new engine into your Centaur I. The Poles are actually in the HQ as well, helping scrub down the tanks of their unwanted paintjobs from yesterday, while the History Club is actually… putting the finishing touches on an IS-2? You all dismount and walk over. “Oleg!” yells Griselda. Oleg looks over, surprised. “Wow, you got a lot done!”

“Thanks to the girls who arrived, da,” he says. “But I am absolutely tir-“ He stops when he sees the Commissioner, and the Commissioner does the same. “… Dottie.”

“Oleg,” says the Commissioner. The four of you look between them.

Griselda blinks. “D- do you two know each other?”

“No,” says Dottie.

“Nyet,” says Oleg.

There’s a spark between Oleg and the Commissioner, the kind of spark that starts housefires. You gotta stamp it out. “Uh, thanks for fitting our engine, Oleg.” You quickly motion for Gertrude and Griselda to take the Commissioner away, and they lead her off to be shown around the tanks. “Really, that’s nice of you.”

“Da.” He folds his arms, grumbling a little. “Is no trouble of mine.”

“So, could you walk me through what’s new then?”

He nods, pointing to the engine being lowered into the engine block. “Is now Meteor engine. Did not have to do much to convert, Merlin was actually a Meteor converted back into Merlin, I just had to convert it back, wasn’t too difficult, only time consuming.” He climbs up onto the tank and kneels down, then helps you up as well. “New engine should be much faster now, 60 plus kilometers an hour on good terrain.”

“I have to worry about that any?” you ask.

“Well, I governed the speed so it wouldn’t rip the tracks off,” he says. “Even with the tougher suspension I built, there’s still a sizeable risk of that, especially on poor terrain.” Okay, that’s fair. “Other than that, you now have a Cromwell III.”

“Thanks, Oleg,” you say.

“Da.” He tilts his head, looking past you to see Griselda and Gertrude introduce the Commissioner to the Poles and the Historians. “Anyway. I should not take any more of your time, Elodie.” He kneels down. “I have to finish this, alright?”

You blink. “Alright.” You drop down. He didn’t call you sol… whatever the fuck. Huh.

You walk on over to the group as the Commissioner talks with the Poles, in their native language. The Poles, excited to finally meet someone who speaks Polish, happily chat and gossip with her. Gertrude looks over at you. “She seems to be enjoying herself,” she whispers. She checks her watch. “It’s almost lunch time, should we get her something to eat?”

“Did she say she was staying long?” asks Griselda.

“I don’t know, I think I’ll go cook something for her.” You all nod, and Gertrude quickly excuses herself to the kitchen.

The Commissioner turns around to you. “Elodie.” You blink, standing stiff. “Serafina was just telling me about your skill and leadership. She speaks highly of you.”

Commissioner Durocher folds her arms, smirking. “There’s no exaggeration when it comes to subordinates.” She gently nudges your arm, smiling. “Take the compliment, don’t be so modest. Sometimes people love a big good ego.” You shrug at that, you’re not so sure about that.

Griselda smiles, then checks her phone. “Oh, it’s the others! Perrine and Winona are gonna come around soon for lunch!” Really? That’ll be good. It’ll bail you out of this. “Uh, Elodie, we can probably discuss our plans for the match around that time, that okay?”

“Sure,” you say. “Anyway, Commissioner, I-“ The Commissioner blinks, looking at something. “Commissioner?”

She points to the wrecked King Tiger sitting in the corner of the hangar, wrapped up underneath tarp. “Where did you get that?” she asks. As you walk over, you explain that you found it while searching for treasure behind a waterfall at LGA’s Mount Montagne. A very interesting explanation but regardless that was the truth. She looks up at it, tilting her head, impressed by its size maybe? “Hm.”

“You like the King Tiger?” asks Griselda.

“Erm, yes, yeah.” Commissioner Durocher folds her arms, looking at it. She quickly brushes some rust off covering the name “Thaddeus”. “Thaddeus, good name for him.” She looks over at you all. “Just so you all know, it’s only proper that you refer to the tanks as boys. It’s uh… it’s a tradition thing. These are the only boys you get, you know.” Hmph, it’s not like you’re interested in that stuff anyway. “Still, nice tank, nice tank. Hm.” She sniffs. “That lunch cooking?”

“Yeah,” says Griselda. The Commissioner nods, immediately gravitating towards the kitchen. “That was weird.” You shrug, maybe not. “Anyway, we got some time. Did you want to discuss the plan for tomorrow? Or should I save that for the morning after?”

You and Griselda take some plates of cooked chicken and curry rice and mull over the map in the briefing room. Strewn around the table were photos of tanks, not just yours, but also of Robert A. Heinlein’s. “Right, here’s the map. And I think we really lucked out on location because this mountain precludes a lot of movement and kills their mobility. However we still have quite a few problems,” says Griselda.

“What’s that?”

“Number 1. They’re not going to fight fair. They will go for the maximum twenty in the elimination and flag fights.” Oh. That is not fair. Not at all. “Secondly, all of their tanks are more coordinated, more organized than ours. However, considering they’re using US Armor, we might have the edge on protection if we keep behind the Pershing and the Churchill. I was hoping we could get a crew in the IS-2 before this match but nobody’s answered my calls. Here’s their line up.”

“… do we have any OTHER advantages?” you ask nervously.

“Yes,” she says. “Most of their crews are freshmen, which means we won’t be facing too many elite crews. Problem is, they still have very good Officers, and they are very well-disciplined.”

> LEGENDARY TANK: M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo “Cobra King”
> This particular Sherman Jumbo is known to be the famous tank which was the first to liberate the stricken defenders at Bastogne. Thought lost to an unknown raid, this tank was found again, and restored to full functioning order. Strangely, despite the reputation of Sherman Jumbos being rather clumsily heavy and slow, “Cobra King” is actually relatively speedy and agile for REGULAR Shermans.

“They’re also led by a freshman officer, goes by the name of ‘Dix’ Hauser.” Griselda slides a photo of the very confident looking Dix Hauser over to you. Small girl, tanned skin, but with her black hair done in a neat bun and wearing an M1 Helmet adorned with Heinlein’s eagle on it along with South Carolina palmetto trees on the sides. “She’s raw, but she’s not stupid. She’ll see through a lot of basic tricks.”

You nod. “So… how much of a chance do we have?”

She shrugs. “Depends. I don’t really have a plan, which is why I’m only talking to you and not the rest of the crews. I don’t want to dispirit them.” She motions to you, sternly. “What do you think we should do?”

>>47156129
No, LGA is always blue.

In the second match though, you'll start in the red spot.

>>47156079
Send the Churchill up the mountain to snipe. I got nothing else other than going head to head in the pass.

>>47156079
Aim for their officers, and find someone to crew the IS-2. We need at many tanks as possible however, if their officers are well disciplines taking them out will cause confusion among the ranks.

Apply hit and run tactics and also if possible trap them by getting them into a narrow area in route 15 and knocking out the front and rear tank.

If anything, try to eliminate their best tanks in the elimination round so at least we have a shot at the flag match.

>>47156148
Got it.

Not so much our plan, but probably theirs.

They can the 554 to Skyline Road. That'll get them up on the hill. If we push to the large valley, they'll pound us from in front and above. They'll push us back down the valley past Armstrong and us it to get behind.

We should avoid that valley. Take the Armstrong Road and swing around and above.

>>47156202
But taking out their officers is a must.

>>47156218
Absolutely.

Can we have one of our crew use the IS-2 for one of the matches?

Is this the short barrel 75mm or the long barrel 75mm?

>>47156291
Short barreled one.

> Come up with a plan

“Here’s my thinking. We prioritize their Officers, and we find some way to trap them in Route 15 in that mountain.”

“How do you propose getting them to follow you in there?” asks Griselda.

“Give them a rabbit to chase maybe?” you ask. “If you need me to, I can bait them into the pass, then we can snipe out the front and rear tanks, take out the Officers. But I think what we should also prioritize is their better tanks. They have a depth, but if we eliminate their better tanks now, we can avoid a headache later. Especially if they deploy all of their Pershings in this fight.”

Griselda nods. “Heinlein is known for its heavy assault tactics, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they did pull a lot of Pershings into this fight. Yeah, that might be a good plan. We park the Churchill on the rise of the mountain, find a way to park the Pershing at one end to stop them too, then you, me, and Suvorov can ambush them when they come inside.”

You nod back. “That’s if they take the bait.”

“It’s not a bad plan though,” she says with a smile. “I like it, definitely. We should go with it-“

Gertrude opens the door. “Hey, guys!”

“Sis! We’re discussing strategy!” mopes Griselda.

“Aw, sorry. Griselda, there’s a group of girls here wanted to see you.” She whispers loudly. “I think they want to join your team.” Griselda beams, and she immediately rushes past Griselda. Gertrude looks over at you. “Heh, well, you want to join us for lunch then, Ellie or do you need to head out?”

You sit at one of the tables with the Commissioner, Perrine, Winona, and Gertrude. Serafina and Suvorov along with their crews had gone home, having finished their duties, leaving Oleg to continuefixing your engine in place. “So, Commissioner, what’s your experience with tanks?” asks Gertrude.

“I uh…” She shrugs. “I manned a gun in college at UGA. Not much else.”

“Not even in High School?” asks Perrine.

“Nah, High School was kind of turbulent for me,” she explains. “But uh… Perrine, I do have to wonder why you abandoned ITL completely for NATO.”

Perrine shrugs. “ITL has too many restrictions, too few games to really test skill and mettle. Over in the ITL, it goes to the team that’s either lucky or rich. LGA- no offense, Gertrude-“ Gertrude shrugs. “LGA got lucky that one year. Every other year it’d be Kursk or Heinlein or Kuromorimine and that’d be it, oui?”

Gertrude nods. “I do have to agree with that, but I like the ITL regardless. I’m not taking LGA out of it.”

“Right,” says the Commissioner. “Maybe it’s just because Perrine likes that we allow rocket artillery.”

“Finally the H35 has use!” says Perrine. … why would the Hotchkiss tanks not have a use? What does she mean? Perrine smiles, leaning over to you. “Ellie, if we see each other at the All-Star match, I’ll see if I can show off the big rockets the H35 is allowed to use, along with certain BT tank prototypes.”

“All-Star game?” you ask.

Commissioner Durocher explains: “The All-Star game is the preliminary match to the Combined Fleet Festival, a two-week festival in the last two week of the regular season tournament. The entire NATO Fleet gathers together, shares its experiences and cultures with other ships, it’s meant to foster family and camaraderie between all of the ships.”

“Lotta ships,” says Gertrude.

The Commissioner smiles at you. “The All-Star game players are voted on by Judges and spectators. You’ve even got a sizeable voting fanbase already, Elodie.” What- really? “Think you’ll make the All-Star game?”

“Oh, I mean, they probably have better people to elect than me. I’m just a rookie after all.”

“A rookie on a mean streak,” says Gertrude. “Look, don’t sell yourself so short, Ellie. It’s not good for the brain if you constantly beat yourself down, makes you think you’re not good enough to do anything.” That- that… actually is good sound advice.

The Commissioner checks her watch. “I should actually catch my flight back with Perrine to J. Walter Christie. They’re facing Hugo Gernsback Art school this weekend you know, think you’ll catch their match?”

“Yeah!” you say. “Hopefully!” You and Gertrude stand up to walk them out. Winona as well hangs off of Perrine’s arm, and the two continue to speak about tank nothings in each other’s ears, giggling to each other. When all of you end up outside, you see Griselda talking with a group of girls.

“Oh yeah.” Perrine slaps the M39 Carrier. “This baby’s yours, tell Griselda that when she’s done with those girls.” Wait. WHAT!? She’s giving us a free tank!? “I was planning on retiring this, but I think GrisGris could use something to help boost her armament.” She leans over to you, whispering in your ear. “Tell no one, I’m building a tank with legs, and it’s entering the prototype phase.”

A what?

>>47157619

“Anyway!” Perrine presses a button on her phone, and immediately a newer more pristine M39 comes to pick her and the Commissioner up. “Glad to have met you, Ellie, you too Winona. I’ll keep in touch with Winona over there, we’ll be happy to face you in the 9th week, alright?” You nod, alrighty then. “Winona, one last selfie!” She and her quickly take one last smiling selfie with each other, before they hug goodbye to each other.

“And take good care of that King Tiger, it’s authentic,” says the Commissioner. “Very few of those left, most you see in matches now are replicas.” They climb on inside, then wave goodbye to you as they leave.

Gertrude smiles, then looks over to Griselda. “Wonder who those guys are.” She pats your shoulder, smiling. “See you later, Ellie. Tell GrisGris good luck for me, alright?” You nod.

Alright, alright, what to do?

You and Denise wait by one of the street corners, then find Ingrid coming down to meet you. She wear a simple white blouse mixed with a purple miniskirt and black stockings. And on her head she wears a purple Arizona Diamondbacks hat. “Right, what’s this about?” she asks as she walks up to you.

“I called to see if you wanted to hang out a bit,” you say.

“Is this Stack’s way of making me feel better?” she asks. “Time with you?”

“Is time with me a bad thing?” you ask.

“Oh- no, I mean-“ She blushes, suddenly finding herself insulting. “That- I mean, you- uh… erm… We can do whatever you’d like.” You smile, that’s almost cute, Ingrid. Almost. “But um, seriously, what uh… what did you want to do?”

“Oh, I’m fine with whatever,” you say. “What did you want to do?”

She shrugs. “Erm.” She shrugs again. “I dunno.”

The two of you decided to head onto LGA’s only sports bar, where dozens of LES students were watching the soccer games on TV, while baseball games were available upstairs. The LES students were being loud and rambunctious downstairs, but at least you and Ingrid had some time alone. You invited Denise actually to come eat with you, but she refused. “I wouldn’t want to get in the way between you and your date,” she said with a wink.

Oh, so that’s what she thinks this is, eh? You’re going to beat her like a rented mule when she comes around to pick you two up.

Ingrid however stares at the TV, munching on some fried chicken. In front of you was a plate of fried crispy chicken legs, breasts, and wings, along with a pair of sodas, some barbecue sauce cups, and fries and biscuits as well. The game on was the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. the San Diego Padres, and currently the Padres were closing out the top of the 9th inning. Ingrid leans over to you, motioning to the pitcher on the mound, who had the most peculiar way of standing. He was hunching over, almost 90 degrees, with his pitching arm out like a wing. “So, Craig Kimbrel developed that after he had an injury. Now it’s just part of what he does, makes him one of the best closers in baseball.”

You nod. “Yeah.”

“Mhm, it’s a damn shame the Braves had to trade them, but lately it seems like the Braves are doing a lot of restructuring, I wouldn’t be surprised if next year they looked like a Triple A team playing in the Majors.”

“Uh huh.”

“Now, if you’re wondering, batting average is hits divided by at-bats. Taking a base on balls or a walk, being hit, or reaching on catcher’s interference isn’t a hit, and they’re not at-bats either. You’re also not charged with an AB if you bunt into an out to advance a runner or do the same flying out. Now, if you reach on an error or an fielder’s choice, that’s an AB, but they’re not hits.”

You nod. “Right.”

“So, league average if you’re wondering is around the area of 240 and 280, about once every three or four times ,you get a hit, is the way to go,” she explains. “You don’t understand a word I’m saying, do you.”

“Look, I think baseball can be interesting. Just… explain it to me. Explain the basics in language I can understand.”

She nods. “Okay. There are nine players on each team. The goal is to score as many runs as possible, and to do that, you have to hit the ball safely and reach base. You have to touch all three bases before you can touch home plate and score a run.”

“Okay…” You squint. That sounds simple enough. “Is there anything else complicated about it?”

“No, that’s honestly basically it,” says Ingrid. “Other than the other team having to stop it, and the Nine innings and extra innings thing but I think you understand that.” You nod. “Now, stats for baseball are what we look at to get a frame of reference. Because baseball is a lot harder than it looks.”

“Isn’t it just hitting a ball?” you ask.

She laughs a little. “Yeah! But you try hitting a 95 mile an hour fastball!” Okay, that doesn’t very hittable. “Not just that, it’s not enough that you have to hit it, you have to hit it safely. That means it can’t touch a glove or else you’re out. It has to bounce first, and then in an area that a fielder can’t get it and throw you out at first.”

>>47158914

“I see…” You fold your arms.

“This is getting more complicated for you, isn’t it?” she asks.

“A little bit, but I’m starting to understand.” You lean forward, and watch as the Diamondbacks player Paul Goldschmidt hits the ball up. It falls in to a fielder’s glove for an out. “So… this is a fun game to you then?”

“Yeah, most fun game ever,” says Ingrid. “My Dad raised me on it, so did my Mom. I remember when I was little, I’d join my cousins we’d get together in the park for a little home run derby. I always chose my cousin’s wood bats because I loved the sound.”

“The sound?” you ask.

“Yeah, the sound, it sounds like a big crack!” That sounds like the bat breaking but okay. “And if you hit it just right, you ride it all the way out of the park! Not a blister on your finger. Of course, I never hit a home run, I’m a girl, but that’s a different story.” She leans back in her seat, smiling at you. “You ever do anything like that at home with family?”

Well… Now that you think about it, you did do a lot of things with Dad.

I'm not either, but you can get creative.

Look at Hockey, Baseball and Basketball for ideas.

Batting averages? Gunnery averages. A Gunner could be predicted to hit this many times based on previous records. Then you might have TRUE SHOOTING PERCENTAGE, which is how likely a shot will score a one shot kill instead of say a mobility kill.

“Whoa, he’d what!?” Ingrid looks at you, incredulous. “Why!?”

You blink. “Because it was fun?” Yeah, you remember reading your books, doing your homework sometimes on that back of that truck. It was actually really fun getting to ride the couches and you always looked forward to when he did his moving jobs because that meant he’d let you ride in the cab.

“Isn’t riding the back of pick-ups illegal?” she asks.

… is it? Aw fuck.

Well, fuck, you’re not telling on your Dad. You still love doing that.

Ingrid sighs. “Typical. I figure they don’t really enforce that law in whatever ghetto you came out of.”

“Hey, Trenton isn’t a ghetto,” you say. “It’s just a really shitty neighborhood.”

Ingrid grunts. “Figures.” You all look to the TV, and see that Craig Kimbrel indeed has saved the game for the Padres. “Well, there’s the game. Padres win, I wore my Diamondbacks stuff for nothing. I almost came out here wearing Padres stuff actually, but oh well.”

“What is your favorite team to root for?” you ask.

She shrugs. “Eh, I mostly root for the New York teams, but I can find it in my heart to give all thirty MLB teams a little bit of love. Except maybe the Cardinals.” Why does she hate the Cardinals? She sighs, leaning back. “But hey, thanks for taking me out to dinner though.”

“You shut up you meanie!” Winona points in Stack’s face. “I already proved you wrong! Me and Perrine are probably the best of friends right now! Hmph!”

Stack sighs. “You’re right, you did prove me wrong. I guess I should apologize.” She nudges Ingrid’s arm. “You too.”

“Yeah, sorry,” says Ingrid.

You’ve met with your crew outside of the GSAG on the way to the Tankery HQ. Josephina says, “St- still I am a little nervous. I just reviewed Heinlein’s lineup and they have a very vicious array of tanks. I am just scared um… very very scared,” she says, apparently trying to dodge a swearword there.

“We’ll be fine, even if we lose we can feast on the fact that our League has a pretty decent number of poor teams,” says Stack. You all shrug in response to that. “By the way, I heard that Griselda just recruited a new team today, what’s up with that, do you know who they are?”

“You got that right,” says Ingrid. “We really need another heavy hitter.”

“Yeah, I agree.” Stack places her hands on her hips as you all walk to the Tankery HQ. “I think what we really need is another consistent producer of destroyed tanks and someone who doesn’t get knocked out a lot. If we get someone like that’d we be game!”

And right when you arrive at the Tankery HQ you arrive to find that it is not that at all. Griselda puts on a forced smile when she introduces the new crew to you. “Ellie, girls. Meet the-“

You hear whistle blare as the five girls move in to meet you. They’re all dressed in Naval Studies wear, except their sleeves have been cut off and their skirts replaced by black short shorts. The blouse is opened up at the cleavage, revealing that they’re wearing red swimsuits underneath with a white cross on it. They immediately pose dramatically. “NAVAL STUDIES RESCUE!” Their leader, a girl with wavy blonde hair, brown eyes, and wearing the jacket on her shoulders like some sort of cape gives you a shining bright grin. “Name’s Regina Taney! We’ve offered our services to Griselda as payment for her helping us fix up our PBY Catalina! Ha!” They all pose again, even more dramatically. The Poles look at them as if they’re crazy. “We are prepared to do all we can for the Tankery team!”

…

“Who are these fucking guys?” asks Ingrid. Stack immediately elbows her in the gut, shutting her up.

“Glad to have you,” you say quickly. The Naval Studies Rescue students take their caps and bow to you, then move on to their places in the bus.

Griselda blinks. “I got desperate.”

“We can tell.”

That's it for this weekend's fix of LGA2. Hope you all enjoyed and hope you'll be back for next weekend. (Might have something to break the trifecta, we'll see.)

Well shit, we're giving them a very complicated tank to a bunch of noobs.

Is everything going to be okay?

>>47160505
Relax, they're NAVAL STUDIES RESCUE, they know what they're doing.

>>47160480

You what mate

>>47160511
Yeah but the IS-2 uses TWO-PIECE ammunition, if they use the wrong load to fire, they will blow themselves up!

>>47160533
But they'll look good doing it, they're NAVAL STUDIES RESCUE.

>>47160505
of course not. Then again everyone starts from somewhere.

>>47160480
Thanks for running boss. Isn't there a variant of this pic with the pink undershorts showing up?

>>47160480
Are they the equivalent of USAF pararescue?

>>47160455
Poor gris gris. She needs a hug.

>>47160564
Coast guard more like.

>>47160564
Naval Studies Rescue is part Coast Guard, part pararescue, part firefighter/smokejumper, part lifeguards.

I'm pretty sure LGA is tied for 2nd with Kursk behind Walter Christie.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Here you go.

I don't have the Eastern League done, maybe next weekend.

>>47160629
I was just informed by my Excelanon that I made a mistake, and P = Matches played should be 2, not 4. I'll fix that next time.

>>47158699
Should the Habakkuk be a bong school though? Feel like there's a dearth of those anyway.

iyaaan~

>>47160729
Britbong schools are all over in the EL. Depending on how your season goes, you might even face one of them in the postseason.

>>47160737
don't be embarrassed, my excelanon

>>47160737
So how much time before the match so that the new team knows the basic of a tank?

and does anyone know how to handle two-piece ammunition?

>>47160533
They're swim rescue, they're very familiar with both two-piece setups, it'll be fine.

They all better look like tiny Pamela Andersons.

>>47160480
Thanks for the fun, Boss.
