3 or 4 shots in a single turn will be worth it. If we both use it on the same time, it could fool the enemy team thinking all our tanks are firing when it's just the M3 Lee and Werewolf.

> Do some drills, just Werewolf and Rabbit team (+10XP)

You decide to make it up to Rabbit team, they had not been very happy at being left out of the Maginot battle and so jumped at the opportunity to train with you.

That morning was spent alternating between being bait and the hunter. Surprisingly, Rabbit team were pretty good. It seems they’d been practising as they were able to catch you out more than once, covering Werewolf, and yourself, in the paint rounds used for tank hide and seek.

> Call someone Chovy

After morning lessons passed in their usual blur, you found yourself with some free time at lunch. Grabbing a salmon sandwich from the cafeteria, you make your way to an empty classroom to call Anchovy and find out more about what she wants from you.

“Hello, this is Pepperoni you’ve gotten through to the office of Il Duce. How can I help you?” Pepperoni, the black-haired girl who accompanied Anchovy last time answered.

“It’s Fritz Hermann, Anchovy asked for my help with the Sensha-Dō team at the Tea Party.” You reply.

“Ah yes I remember you! Sure I’ll put you through to Il Duce, hang on a moment.” With that, you’re put on hold. It’s a good five minutes of elevator music before Anchovy picks up.

“Commander Hermann! Glad to hear from you again. You’re calling about my offer right?” Anchovy sounds relieved. You press on regardless.

“I am, I’d like to know more about what it would entail.” You say. Anchovy’s offer at the party hadn’t been very full of details.

“Of course! What I need you for Commander Hermann is to help me inspire Anzio!” She starts very upbeat but what follows is most certainly not. “The only thing keeping Anzio afloat right now is its culinary program, and I wouldn’t be a good Duce if I didn’t try to change that. My subjects don’t really care for Sensha-Dō but if it’s the best way to diversify Anzio. To keep them safe when I leave.” She sighs. “That’s where you come in Commander if you know a way to help me get them interested in Sensha-Dō I’d really appreciate it.”

“Is it not perhaps the fact that Anzio lacks tanks?” You start. “From what I’ve heard you mainly use the tiny CV. 33s, perhaps their disdain for Sensha-Dō stems from that?” You offer.

“No, you see Fritz, most of the school’s money gets allocated to other stuff. The stuff they enjoy more, like pasta festivals, right? So I have no money to spend on better tanks.” She sounds frustrated, it’s obvious this has been plaguing her for a while.

“You would do that for us? Oh, thank you Commander Hermann!” She sounds ecstatic and you can’t help but smile. It might’ve been helping a rival school, but you were never one to turn down a pretty girl in need.

“Just remember to tell them that Fritz Herman is calling in his favour and they’ll get you what you need. Otherwise, see you next week.” Helping them out might cause problems down the line, especially if you end up facing them in the tournament but who could fault Anchovy’s desire to protect her school? Not you, that’s for certain.

“I will, see you then!” She says before promptly putting down the phone. No doubt to call Munster and see what they could do for her.

> Reflect on the strengths of each team at Maginot (Get their new skills)

You head for the tank storage warehouses at the back of the school, as you enter you see all the different teams going about their business. Anglerfish team was hunched over a table, consulting some documents; Hippo team painting another Kill Marker onto their tank; the gaming club had turned a corner of the warehouse into a gym and were pumping iron and the volleyball team was playing volleyball. Nodding at their good work you head to beaten up sofas in the corner and get to work brainstorming your previous match.

Anglerfish Team
> Bouquet – When firing in concert with at least two other tanks it is a guaranteed hit. (Can be used twice)

Turtle Team
> Knife fighter – Move and shoot first at ranges of 2 tiles or less

Duck Team
> Cheeky rascals – When used all enemy tanks within range focus on this tank (Can be used once)

Hippo Team
> Double-tap – If a kill is scored automatically take another shot at a target in range

Anteater Team
Bulwark – Can contest hits taken in defence of another tank

As the other teams filter out of the Warehouse, you get to work on one of the more inglorious tasks Tanking has to offer, cleaning. Usually, you’d have your crew to help you but while you’d been at Maginot, they’d done most of the normal maintenance, leaving today’s mess to you. You strip off your shirt, and grab a hose, starting with the tracks which had gotten nice and muddy. Great.

Someone enters the warehouse.

“Hello any- Fritz?” You turn and see Yuzu looking at you very hard. You offer a wave.

“Hi Yuzu, I was just cleaning off Werewolf, what are you doing here?” You ask.

“Just… doing my rounds before I go back to the office to do some paperwork…” She murmurs. “Would you mind if I did it here? I wouldn’t mind the distract- I mean I wouldn’t want to distract you.”

“Of course not, I’d love the distraction, cleaning a tank bores me to tears.” You say, distracted by a particularly stubborn paint stain. She scurries off and comes back with a stack of papers, taking a seat on the sofa in the corner.

You talk a lot with Yuzu over the next couple hours about everything and nothing and all in between. Your families and the woes of being the eldest sibling; Tankery and her powerslide during the match as well as the paperwork and how much you both hate it. Eventually, you fall into a comfortable silence, both of you concentrated on your assigned task.

As you finish you turn back to look at her. She’s asleep, wrapped up in your jacket that you had left on the sofa, a pile of discarded paperwork sitting in front of her.

You sigh and shake your head. Yuzu the poor girl seemed constantly overworked and this was just further proof of it. You walk to the small kitchenette in the corner of the warehouses and brew some coffee. You take the coffee and the sugar the table and begin spooning some into your coffee as she begins to wake up.

“Good Morning sleepyhead.” You laugh to yourself as you say it. “Or should I say good evening?”

“Bwuh?” Comes here intelligent response, she rubs her eyes and yawns before trying again. “Oh, is that for me?” You nod your head and she murmurs a thank you, taking a sip before turning back to you.

“Do you need some help with the paperwork?” You push yourself to ask. You hated it with a passion but for Yuzu, you’d suck it up. She looks taken aback for a second but smiles.

“Yes, I’d love some help. Usually, it’s just me on my lonesome struggling through the mountain before me.” She shifts through the pile and deposits a small stack onto your lap. “Here, these are the ones about Sensha-Dō, you should be able to help with these.” With that, you get to work. You’re nowhere near as fast as Yuzu who’s absolutely tearing through the pile, but you do a respectable job of it, enough to lighten her load which is enough for you to be happy with your contribution.

.

.

.
The two of you carry the mountain of paper back to the President’s office and dump it on Yuzu’s desk, to be sorted in the morning.

“Fritz…” You turn at the address and find Yuzu filling your arms, hers wrapped around you and her breasts pressing into your chest. “Thank you for your help today.” She strains on her tip toes, kissing you on the cheek. The warmth on your cheek is electric, and you find your cheek moving with her as she withdraws only disengaging when you have to start bending over to follow her any further. You look down, and she’s smiling, a wide genuine smile mixed with no small bit of relief at not having to be at school all night.

“C’mon,” you murmur. “Let’s get you home before the public morals committee accuses us of doing something lewd.” She acquiesces, taking your hand in her own as you leave the President’s office.


Friday 26th April (Day 19)

You stagger into school. Last night had been a late one, between escorting Yuzu home; cleaning Werewolf and doing paperwork not much time had been left for sleeping. Nevertheless, you were up, and ready to get back to the grind.

Some artillery drills, one speedy tank is off in the distance and speeding around. The Ooarai team can see it but can't get a clean shot, so they have to shoot upward to land a hit. So artillery training useful if enemy tank is being a bitch hiding behind other tanks.

You decide on something a little bit different today, firing drills, but instead of the standard line up and fire at a target, you go for something different. Indirect fire.

“Volleyball club!” You call as you approach duck team, their captain, the short one come over to you.

“What’s up, Fritz?” She asks. “Need the best volleyball players this side of Japan for something?”

“I need the fastest tank drivers on this side of Japan.” You counter. “I got a mission for them.”

“Well you came to the right people.” She puffs out what little chest she has. “We’re as fast as you can get!” You smirk at that.

“Good. Here’s what I need you to do…”

It didn’t take much convincing to get Duck team to agree to be bait. A veiled insult implying they couldn’t do it and a mention that you had an in on the student council and they were all for it. And that’s how you found yourself watching from a tower as Ōoarai’s other tanks tried and failed to hit the I-go with indirect fire all the while, the volleyball club laughed at them and generally insulted anyone who didn’t play volleyball. Good stuff.

> Find out what Anzu wanted

As lunch approaches, you decide it’s time to answer the summons of the Student Council. You knock twice and give it a second before opening the door.

“Commander Hermann.” Anzu greets you with a smile and a wave. “So good to see you, you here for Yuzu?”

“Unfortunately, not,” you lean down to kiss the girlfriend in question on the cheek who blushes but continues with her paperwork. “I’m here because you said you needed to talk to me.”

“Indeed, I do come take a seat.” You do so and Anzu begins to talk. “I must commend you Commander; your performance so far has been exemplary. Frankly, I expected to lose to both Maginot and St. Gloriana yet here we are, undefeated so far.” She pauses, eating a potato chip before continuing. “Your performance and that of Hippo team have caught the eyes of Tankery Forum Hearts of Iron, you heard of them.”

You nod, Hearts of Iron was a pretty well-known English language Tankery blog who’d covered Werewolf before. Being on their front page had helped tremendously back in Germany and would likely help again here.

“The reporter arrives on Monday; they’re going to cover the whole team but with a particular focus on you and Hippo team. I don’t need to tell you how important this is.” She swings around in her chair for a second before returning to you. “There’s also the Duelling league to consider. Our first match is on Wednesday (Day 24) so we need to consider what format we want to enter.”

“Format?” You ask. Anzu nods her head.

“Yup, the 1v1s or the 2v2s. Aside from the difference in tank numbers required, they’re practically identical. Ōoarai can only afford to enter one so we thought to leave the decision to you.”

Duelling league pick (This is just for your guys’ preference. All rewards and stuff will be identical for whichever you pick)

Anzu scribbles something down on a piece of paper before handing it to Yuzu.

“Vice-President, enter us for the 2v2 please.” She turns back to you. “A good choice, you’ll need to pick two other tanks to accompany you to each match then, you can pick from those when you know who you’re against.”

“Any luck finding a crew for the Crusader?” You ask her. She blows a raspberry and shakes her head.

“No luck I’m afraid, I was thinking of replacing Duck Team’s I-Go with it but that’s a bridge we can cross when the tank is operational.” She doesn’t look happy at that. Your next question makes her even more unhappy.

“Is there any money for tank upgrades in the budget?” Surely Ōoarai must have something.

She sighs and shakes her head. “Our recent wins have been good for donations but we’re still running in the red.” Then Momo decides to butt in.

“That’s why it’s imperative the interview goes well, it’s a chance for donation windfall from across the world! It might mean nothing to a school like Black Forest but to us, it’s the difference between life and death!” She’s starting to hyperventilate, you see Yuzu get up and put a hand on Momo’s shoulder, calming her. The council turns back to you. “Any other questions?”

“One more.” You start. “Is there anything I should mention in particular to the reporter? Or anything I shouldn’t.” Momo thinks a minute before replying.

“That we’re the underdogs.” She’s putting her PR rep skills to work. “Everyone loves a good underdog story and even with Werewolf here we are the underdogs. As for what not to mention just use your common sense.”

“Great! Is that all?” Anzu asks. At your nod, she smiles and shoos you out the room. “Good. Now get out of here. Koyama can’t work if you’re in here distracting her.” You hear a muffled ‘hey’ from Yuzu as the door shuts behind you.

You check your messages as you walk. There’s one from Koume as usual, a meme which you respond to in kind. More importantly, there’s one from Takumi. It’s a video of Hippo team killing two tanks in one shot and ‘!!!!!!!’ as the caption.

You decide to work on speed loading with Ōoarai, if they could get more shots down range then it would improve Ōoarai’s chances immensely, especially given the numbers disadvantage you’re likely to be at. It went poorly. Despite being tankers, the loaders were still teenage girls. Strong teenage girls, but still teenage girls and hence prone to giving in to exhaustion when pushed into loading too fast. The one standout was Rabbit team’s loaders, Yuuki and Saki who manage to keep up with the pace Axel managed to set.

>Rabbit team gain the skill double shot – can fire twice per gun per turn once per match

>Shitpost on /tanks/ about Erwin 2 in 1 shot

It’s been a while since you’ve been on /tanks/, probably over a month since the last time was while you were in Germany. You scroll through until you find Heavy Tank General. You always hated /HtG/, mostly because they put down all of your wins against heavy tanks to luck, despite it clearly being a case of you being the better tanker. You attach a gif of Erwin’s StuG getting a double kill and a short low tier bait caption.

> bu- bu- but muh heavy tankerinos are still relevant111!!!

With that out of the way, you head to bed, wondering what you’d come back to in the morning.

Saturday 27th April (Day 20)

You wake up and decide to check whether your bait had caught any idiots. You are unable to access /tanks/. For a good half an hour you refresh the page until finally, it gets through. It seems that you did get some replies.

/HtG/ was absolutely seething at your bait, calling you all manner of names and trying to defend their precious heavy tanks, many trolls had jumped on the opportunity, turning /HtG/ into a quagmire of Tank Destroyer trolling and shitposting. Included in their number is notorious shitposter The Last Destroyer. Truly glorious. Your shitpost was indeed a success.

> Maho Duel

You decide that it’d be rude to keep a lady waiting any longer than necessary, it was time to introduce Maho to the business end of Werewolf’s gun as she had in fact requested. The phone rings twice like last time before she picks up.

“Nishizumi Maho.” She answers. Straight to the point as usual. You reply in kind.

“It’s Fritz.”

“Ah, Fritz.” Her voice lightened slightly at your name. “Good to hear from you again, is this a social call or business?”

“Business.” You reply. “I’d like to arrange the date and time of our duel if that’s alright with you.”

“Of course, it is.” She pauses for a second and you can hear the rustling of papers before she continues. “Name wherever and whenever is convenient for you and we shall have our duel.”

“How about, this Saturday coming up and we duel on that mountain field?”

“Yes, I know the one you’re talking about. Very well, see you then.”

Once again, your skills at sifting through information come in handy, you’re able to filter the wheat from the chaff and find out lots of interesting information. Of particular note is a couple points about some of the stronger teams in Japanese Tankery

> Saunders’ Pershing is going on tour before the tournament begins
> Saunders has bought two more easy-8s with the 76-millimetre gun and upgraded three of its Shermans to Jumbos
> Pravda has bought more tank destroyers
> Black Forest is rumoured to have bought a massive new tank

Filing away that information for later, you decide it’s time to properly acquaint yourself with the gaming club.

Question: Is there an upgrade package for our tank like the Stug? I know we're the big dog (hue) at the school right now, but as we win and get more and better tanks, along with the crews skilling up, that will not last.

Also, I am enjoying this quest. It has the right mix of technical, interpersonal, and world building. Keep it up.

Also also;
Can we go tank hunting again in the ship soon? I'm hoping there is at least one more 'Merican tank down there. Hopefully a far better one to replace the Lee, as much as it's grown on me.

It’s not hard to find the gaming club, they were at the Ōoarai schoolship’s library, in the computer labs – the only place with high-speed internet on the carrier.

As you walk in, you pause to observe them for a moment. The three of them are playing World of Tanks, and they’re pretty good at it from what you can see.

They’re running a three-person Bat-Chat platoon, absolutely devastating any other tanks they come across through a combination of teamwork and firepower. The match ends, and you speak up.

“You guys are pretty good.” They jump and turn.

“Y-you scared us nyaa.” The one with cat ears, Nekota says. “What are you even doing here?”

“I need a second for the duelling league on Wednesday, you’re my first pick if you’re available.” You reply.

“But why us momo?” The one with an eyepatch chips in. Did they all have some verbal tic? You ignore it and decide to be honest.

“Werewolf is good at a distance from range, you guys are pretty good at soaking hits, so I think between the two of us we should have it covered. Add Hippo into the mix and we can rock any situation.” You explain. The grey-haired one nods.

“That makes sense Piyo… Fine! We’re in.” She exclaims, the others nodding at her proclamation.

“That’s fine by me.” You pull out your laptop. “Now let me show you how it’s done.”

As soon as next week starts (in-game) you can go tank hunting again, but you can only find tanks and upgrades that are there in the anime. Anything else you have to buy or trade for.

You do… pretty good with the gamers. You went down the E50M line (obviously, the Panther II was down that line) and your highly accurate gun acted as a good compliment to the Bat-Chat’s ridiculous burst damage. Suffice to say, you earned Anteater’s respect.

As you leave the library for home, you ring Yuzu, to ask if she’s free to go to Anzio with you tomorrow.

“Fritz? How are you!” She chirps happily. You can’t help but smile

“I’m good Yuzu, listen. I’m going to Anzio tomorrow to have a look around before I assist Anchovy next week. Want to make a date of it?”

“More Italian?” She mock huffs before laughing. “I’d love to Fritz, are we going by bike?”

“We are.” You affirm. “I’ll come by yours about nine and we can ship out.”

“Sounds good to me.” She replies softly. “See you then.”

[I'm running out of steam gentlemen. We'll pick this up tomorrow, same time with the visit to Anzio]

>>4255760
Good stuff.

Just did some looking up on what the Panther II was going to get. Apparently, there was a gas turbine powerplant in the works called the GT 103 that would have given the tank about 1,200 shaft horsepower. Those crazy germans. Wonder if might be somewhere...

Sunday 28th April (Day 21)

You’re up bright an early today given it’s going to be a long one. You meet Yuzu outside her apartment. She’s dressed casually, and walks over to your bike when you pull up outside.

“Good Morning Fritz.” She plants a kiss on your helmet, giggling at your unamused expression before donning her own. She wraps her arms around your waist and secures herself on the bike. With your girlfriend secure, you set off for the port and from there to Tochigi and Anzio.

After a two-hour ride, you find yourself at Anzio’s homeport in Tochigi. After parking your bike, you and Yuzu make your way onto the Anzio carrier.

The Anzio tankery team could stand out among their school more, but instead of shows or festivals, maintaining a present presence in using their tankettes as delivery vehicles. Perhaps even delivering the best food out to their school and attracting more potential members.

>Grab a snack from a food stall while we look for Anchovy.

“How about we grab something to eat while we look for Anchovy?” Yuzu suggests. You nod your approval and the two of you wander through Anzio, looking for a place to eat. You don’t have to walk very far before coming across a plaza filled with food stalls. “Is there some kind of festival?” Yuzu murmurs, and you find yourself agreeing as the two of you walk into the mix.

“Excuse me.” You address a pair of students lining up for ice cream. “Is there a festival of some kind happening?”

They laugh and shake their heads. “Nah, this is just lunch at Anzio! Great food at great prices.” You thank them and keep walking. Food stalls for lunch… Brilliant.

Eventually, you spy a familiar face working a pasta stand.

“Pan fried Neopolitan! Get it here!” It’s Pepperoni, one Anchovy’s assistants from the Tea Party,

“Pepperoni!” You call to her and she turns to face you, eyes lighting up in recognition. “I remember you! Commander Hermann was it! Here to enjoy Anzio’s cuisine again? I can’t say I blame you!”

“More I’m here to see Anchovy, but we decided to make a date of it.” You say as you nudge Yuzu.

“A very good choice.” Pepperoni nods sagely as she finishes the pasta she was making. “No place better for a date, we have the best food in Japan!” She places two plates of the pasta she made down in front of her. “Spaghetti Neopolitan, two plates for six million Lira!”

You scratch your head and look to Yuzu who also shrugs. “I have Yen or Euros?” You offer.

“Fine, six hundred Yen.” That’s a little more realistic than asking for a defunct currency. You hand over the money, a little over five euros and take the food to a table as Pepperoni departs to find Anchovy for you.

“Seems like a very lively place.” Yuzu offers as the two of you take a seat with your food. You nod your agreement and enjoy the moment for a little bit before you get to business.

“I told Anchovy to ask the Munster tank museum for help, I doubt they’ll give her much, but they should be able to put her into contact with a group in Italy who can help them.” You take another bite of your pasta. “I’m here to help them with their tanking culture, apparently they put too much emphasis on snack time compared to tank time.”

“Well said, Commander!” You turn to see who’s addressing you and see Anchovy flanked by Pepperoni and Carpaccio. “As you can see Anzio is unrivalled in its culinary capacity, but the girls need inspiration! If they can sacrifice just one more snack time a week then I’m sure we can scrounge up the money to become a real threat!”

Definitely have Yuzu go over the budget, maybe with Carpaccio. We'll have to make it up to Yuzu for mixing business with pleasure though.

Yeah, why not.
Supporting.

>>4256377

> How did your phone call to Munster go?

At that Anchovy’s smile softens from her ‘Duce in command’ smile to a genuine one.

“It went well, thank you, Commander Hermann. They themselves were not able to help but they put is in touch with the ‘Museo Storico della Motorizzazione Militare’ in the motherland-“ Aren’t they all Japanese? “-who have graciously decided to sponsor Anzio with a new tank! For that we are grateful.” She slides a small box across the table. Inside is a card with a chibi Anchovy on it saying, ‘Thank You!’. “Even if you are unable to help us any further, we appreciate that you did that Commander. Inside are Anzio meal coupons! Good for food from any stall for a year!”

>How do you think I can go about inspiring them?

“Hmm, back when Sensha-Dō was established in Japan, Anzio was one of the foremost schools! Perhaps you could use that in some way.” Carpaccio buts in. Anchovy nods.

“Yes, the library might have more on that! It might help you inspire the girls!”

> Your school places great stock on culinary capacity, you should take advantage of that by doing service in that regard. Delivery. With the tankery team as an asset towards the school's culinary capacity, support will increase.

“Including the Sensha-Dō team in Anzio’s culinary capacity, what a novel idea! Pepperoni! Write that down!” She turns back to you. “Not even here an hour and already coming up with good ideas! We made the right choice!”

> Yuzu might be able to help if you let her glance over your budget
> Yuzu and Momo both help in some capacity in exchange for a tank (and that dinner)

Yuzu nods at that and makes to speak. “I can’t promise anything, but if there is money to find, I can find it!”

“You mentioned a CV. 33 in exchange for our help?” You butt in. Anchovy waves dismissively.

“Yes, yes. You help us out and Anzio will loan Ōoarai one of our tanks in perpetuity blah blah.” She’s waving her riding crop around, Pepperoni and Carpaccio having to duck out of the way. “Let it be known that Il Duce always pays her debts! No matter who to or how big!”

An impromptu crowd has formed around Anchovy to cheer her. Seems she’s very popular in Anzio

“Well then Fritz, let’s get started, shall we?” Yuzu whips the sauce off her mouth before standing. “Take me to the budget office and Fritz to your archives. We’ll find something for you if it’s the last thing we do!” You can only nod as your girlfriend takes charge of the situation.

“We’ll make a Duce out of you yet!” Anchovy seems to like the assertive side of Yuzu. “Carpaccio! Take the gentleman to the ‘archivi della biblioteca navale della scuola Anzio’!” The blonde girl smiles and gestures for you to follow her.

The archives are pretty big, really big. Perhaps the biggest you’ve ever seen. Carpaccio seems to notice your awe and chips in. “Yep! Anzio is a very storied school! Anything you need, you’ll find in here.” As she leaves, you crack your knuckles. It’s time to work.

As you work, you discover a story. A story of the Italian school that could, under its first Duce, JuliusChovy, Anzio was undefeated, winning nine consecutive National Sensha-Dō tournaments. It brought fame to Anzio, it brought money to Anzio, but most importantly it brought more snack times. By giving them up at the beginning of her reign JuliusCHovy was able to make Anzio so wealthy they could have five snack times a day, compared to the two that they currently have. You scribble down the details and sprint to Carpaccio.

“Anchovy! Now!” She doesn’t question you, and the two of you take off towards the Duce’s office.

You arrive at the office, and find Anchovy dancing around it in joy, with a smug looking Yuzu reclining on the sofa next to her.

“Hermann! Yuzu hear cut the number of olives in our school salad by one per serving and saved us thousands! Tell me you have good news too!” You hand her the paper with all the research you have on JuliusChovy. She snatches it from your hand and scans it before jumping onto her desk. “The story of JuliusChovy! Capital! This should be inspiration enough for even the most obstinate of students!” She turns to you and Yuzu and points her crop at you. “You sir and madam are henceforth friends of Anzio! And that means you’re always welcome! Please! You must stay for dinner.”

You make to agree but Yuzu cuts you off. “We’d love to, but we must leave so we can get back to our carrier before it leaves.” Anchovy sighs and nods.

“Yes yes but worry not! Anzio will still show its appreciation! That is a promise!” Another crowd praising Anchovy has somehow formed inside her office. You take that as your cue to leave.

You take a deep breath as you walk into the warehouse that morning. Reporters. You’d dealt with them before in Germany and while you knew how important they were it didn’t mean you had to like it. As you enter, you see a blonde lady standing there, gawking at Werewolf.

“You must be the reporter.” She turns and smiles as you say that.

“Yes! Yes I am!” She offers a hand which you shake. “I’m Winry, from Hearts of Iron and you’re Commander Hermann correct?”

“I am.” You reply with a nod.

“Perfect, let’s get started.” She walks over to Werewolf. “So this is the infamous Werewolf, tell me Commander – you were doing pretty well in Germany, what made you decide to come to Japan?

Hopefully this will show that we're the underdog being new and have little in terms of tanks. While not aliening other schools keeping it semi-humble

“Perfect, let’s get started.” She walks over to Werewolf. “So this is the infamous Werewolf, tell me, Commander – you were doing pretty well in Germany, what made you decide to come to Japan?

It was an easy question you think, probably intended to help someone new to interviews ease into it.

“I wanted a change of pace, Japanese tankery is very different from German tankery, both in terms of scale and tactics.” You pause for a second. “With German tankery it’s either one on one duels or full length one hundred versus one hundred campaigns. Japanese tanking is a happy middle ground.” She nods and scribbles down your answer on her notepad before continuing.

“You chose Ōoarai instead of a number of other schools that are better picks on paper, why’s that?” You think for a second. You decide against mentioning how good it would look on your CV or being a Hail Mary from a struggling school and instead go with an opinion that you came to develop over the past couple weeks.

“Ōoarai didn’t have a tank program to speak off, I saw it as an opportunity to help build something. A legacy greater than just myself.”
“And you’ve done a good job of it so far Commander. You’re two for nought right now correct?”

“Correct.” You nod. “But it wouldn’t have been possible without Commander Nishizumi and the rest of the team.” You add.

“Speaking of the team, what can you tell me about them? Assuming it’s not a secret of course.” The last part is delivered with a wink and a nudge. You laugh at it and think for a moment.

“They’ve got grit and determination, just not the money to back it up like some of the big boys.” She hums her agreement before chipping in.

“Big boys like St. Gloriana’s? You beat them pretty handily in your first match if I recall, as well as in the duel afterwards.” You make to say something in defence of Darjeeling and co. but Winry continue.

“Let’s talk more specifically about the StuG’s double shot in the last match against Maginot. What do you think of that?” You can’t help but smirk at the memory of hearing Hippo team had taken out two tanks with one shot.

“Usually shots like those are one in a million, but with the skill Erwin and her girls have it’s more like one on a hundred. I don’t doubt that we’ll see a similar display of talent from them again.” Erwin and the girls were deadly, and you had no doubt that they were among Ōoarai’s best.

“Speaking of the future, Ōoarai’s set to participate in the duelling league and the high school tournament. What do you think of your chances?” You pause. You don’t want to brag and risk annoying other schools you’d become friends with but at the same time you didn’t want to see Ōoarai short. You decide on a middle ground.

“Ōoarai is pretty new, but I reckon we’ll get far. If nothing else, I’d bet on us winning one at the very least.” She nods sagely, no doubt your words would be made into a great story. You just hope it’s one that doesn’t piss off the other schools.

“And the final question is about you. How is it being one of the only boys in a girls’ school? I can’t imagine it’s easy for you…” She trails off, waiting for your response. You smirk. This was an easy one.

“The girls and people of Ōoarai have been nothing short of friendly to me. It’s been really easy.”

With that out of the way, you make to leave. Except you’re interdicted by a familiar Italian themed schoolgirl.

“It is I! The great Il Duce, here to repay my debt to Commander Hermann and Vice President Koyama of Ōoarai academy!” She’s brought a pair of CV. 33s with her. Winry immediately whips out her notebook.

“A debt you say?” She asks Anchovy who answers before you can interrupt.

“Indeed! Commander Hermann and his beau visited Anzio and assisted me, Duce Anchovy! In inspiring my loyal subjects to put their hearts into Sensha-Dō.” She turns and winks at you. The cheeky midget knows exactly what she’s doing. “They did it with no regard for reward rather, they did it simply to help a school in need. Ōoarai academy is true practitioners of Sensha-Dō.” Winry is furiously scribbling, the page smoking from the friction. You’re about to but in but that’s when Momo rounds the corner. Momo is far more qualified than you, so you decide to leave it there and retreat.

[If it is unclear, this is a good thing. Helping Anchovy in exchange for a couple of shitty tanks made a good impression on her and will do the same on the public. Smart choice to do it early.]

> Meet with the teams participating in the duelling league on Wednesday

At lunch, you decide to call a meeting for the duelling league on Wednesday. Caesar arrives representing Hippo team and Nekota for Anteater team. You’re in the president’s office, the president in question relaxing in her chair on the other side of the office. Yuzu, unfortunately, is not around.

“All right ladies, here’s the game plan. On Wednesday we leave for the mainland, where we’ll be randomly assigned an opponent and a field. Once we get to the field, we’ll be able to see what tanks the enemy brought and they us. Then we pick our two and they do the same and we go win for Ōoarai.”

“How do they determine who wins the league?” Caesar asks. It’s the president who replies.

“Everyone plays everyone and whoever has the most wins at the end, wins. Easy Peasy!”

You spend the rest of Lunch discussing the relative strengths of your tanks. Anteater you decide would be decent as a frontline scout for either yourself or Hippo team. Hippo, a top tier sniper tank and you yourself were able to take either of the roles. With that discussed, you break for afternoon lessons

The CVs can wait you think. Or at least be left for someone else to deal with. You have more pressing issues to be concerned about, more specifically the duelling league match on Wednesday. You gather Hippo, Anteater and Duck team and lay out your plan.

“As you all know on Wednesday the duelling league begins. In order to prepare, Duck team I’d like you to act as our opponent. Your job is to try sneak past Anteater team and tag Hippo team with a paint round; Anteater team, your job is to spot for Hippo; Hippo team, yours is to think about concealment and aim. Hide yourself from Duck and take them out when the time comes.” All in all, it goes surprisingly well. Duck team manages to get through the first couple times but eventually the Chi-Nu is able to stop or spot the sneaky little I-Go most of the time and Hippo does an excellent job of filling Duck team with lead when they try to get close.

> In the next match Hippo team will fire first against targets being spotted by an ally.

> Anteater team has a -1 to awareness

With that done, you decide it’s high time you checked in with your favourite Panzer IV crew. As they’re leaving you call out to them.

“Anglerfish! Wait up!” They stop and turn, smiling when they see it’s you.

“Fritz!” Yukari vocalises their thoughts. “It’s been such a long time! What’s up!”

“I was wondering if you guys were free, I still need to pay you all back for that Birthday party.” You reply.

Miho waves her hands in front of her. “Oh that was nothing, anything for a friend.”

“Well friends hang out with each other, and that’s what I’d like to do.” You pause. “If y’all are free that is.”

“I think we are!” Saori butts in. “C’mon let’s go get some sweet potato ice cream!” She kicks Mako. “Come on Mako! You like ice cream don’t you? That’s worth waking up for.”

“The only thing that’s worth waking up for is sleep.” She deadpans, but she follows Saori, nonetheless.

It was fun, hanging out with Anglerfish. No online tankery, no strategizing about the next match, just teenagers being teenagers. Something you’d missed in the high stakes Tankery world you’d been living in.

Tuesday 30th April (Day 23)

One day left. You should feel nervous, but you feel excited instead. You head into Ōoarai as usual, well rested after your early night yesterday.

Suppression training, being able to fire, load and radio in position while being under heavy fire. Tank has to return fire while being hit by other tanks and MG firing at them. Good multitasking practice.
Werewolf could be the one shooting with our MG, as they can train from short to long ranges

Type 89 I-Go or M3 Lee

Type 89 I-Go can focus the tanks on her, while using her other perk to dodge all the shots. If we use the wolfpack of Hunter-Killer it should work out for us since all our shots will hit.
M3 Lee can fire 4 times in one round if they use the peak, and rest of the time will be shooting 2 times. Both have thin armor, so likely will take hits.

Going with

>>4257153

Changing to the I-Go, If they use Pedal to the Metal then they cannot be hit while scouting for us.

>Suppression training

You decide on suppression training, Machine Gun fire was a constat hazard in tournament Sensha-Dō matches and as such it needed to be trained against. The premise was pretty simple. You fire at your team mates with your MG 131 and close the distance. They had to go through normal drills while doing so.

Anglerfish team took it like a champ. You could easily see Miho’s experience, the girl still unbuttoned despite the gunfire hammering her tank expertly issuing orders to her crew.

The student council don’t show the same perseverance, while you’re at long range they manage to continue but eventually they succumb to the gunfire and are unable to do anything.

Duck team is similarly battered, but they continue on with their drills. In fact, their tank gives up before them. Popping a white flag under the sustained cannon fire.

The StuG gives a good showing as usual, the history girls seem unaffected, continuing their drills almost as well as if they hadn’t been under heavy machine gun fire.

The Freshmen surprise you. They do well at range but start to falter as you get closer. As you approach short range, you think you see a hatch opening for someone to run but it’s quickly closed, and they resume drills as if nothing happened. Good on them.

The Chi-Nu goes well. But then you get closer. Perhaps it’s because the tank had been continuously under fire last match or perhaps it’s because the gamers had been up too late last night. Regardless of what it was they cracked. And Broke. They had to be stretchered back to Ōoarai. They’d be fine, but were confined to bed rest till the end of the week, leaving you out a second for the duel

Well, looks like you’d be taking Duck team with you.

>Tell Anzu about your upcoming duel with Maho

At lunch, you decide it’s high time for Anzu to learn about your duel with Maho. She was able to get a tank out of St. Gloriana so perhaps she could do the same against Maho. You knock as you enter and take a seat opposite the president.
“Anzu, I have a duel with Black Forest on the weekend.” She’s uncharacteristically silence, her usual lazy smirk gone. She looks to Momo and Yuzu and nods before turning back to you.

“Commander Hermann-“ She usually referred to you as Fritz, this couldn’t be good. “-you must win this duel. Ōoarai needs the rep that would come from it, do you understand?” You nod back, not trusting your words at the moment.

“Is that all Fritz?” She says, back to normal apparently if her choice of name was to evidence. With that, you dismiss yourself wondering why it mattered so much.

You decide to take Duck team out into the field, you didn’t have long to get used to working together, but you’d been training together for the last two weeks, and Duck team were getting better at what they did so it was easier than you expected it to be. You were able to coax the student council into their tank in order to act as a spotting target for Team and it went alright. Duck team were no navy seals, but they did a decent job relaying information to you such that your gunner Ruby was able to nail turtle team more often than she would otherwise.

“Good work tonight ladies.” You say to the assembled teams that were going to duel tomorrow. “How about we make a party of it? We’ll use the apartment complex housing team Werewolf, what do you say?” At their affirmatives, you smile. “We can head there now.” As they begin to disperse towards the complex you approach Yuzu. “You’re coming as the Student Council liaison to the duelling team.” She looks confused for a second before she realises what you mean.

“Of course, Commander Hermann, I accept my sworn duty as a liaison.” Her words are serious, but the expression on her face is not.

“I’m glad.” You reply as you drag her behind you. The gathering is pretty fun, it’s not a party, and more just a get-together. You shared in the woes of the Volleyball party as they recounted the closure of their club and nodded along to the History club discussing the battle of Stalingrad. But, the best part is the liaison sitting next to you, who you get to spend an inordinate amount of time ‘discussing important liaison businesses’ which just so happened to require your mouths being pressed together. Definitely important business. Eventually, the other groups clear off, leaving only yourself and Yuzu.

“Do you need me to walk you home?” You ask her. “I know it’s pretty safe, but you can never be too sure.” She smiles at you exasperated and replies.

“No thanks Fritz, I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you.”

“You’re my girlfriend. You’re meant to inconvenience me.” It slips out of your mouth before you can stop it. You slap a hand over your mouth but it’s too late. Yuzu glares at you, but there’s no anger behind it, breaking down into a small laugh when she can’t hold it.

“How about you stay the night?” You suggest. “You can use my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch.” She considers it for a moment before nodding.

“Fine, but you can stay in your bed as well if you want Fritz. I would hate to kick you out and I trust you not to do anything.” You don’t need any convincing and get yourself ready for bed.
