Last night at tank Island, I decided to take some troops by M3 up to the next vbase in the line and hope to get lucky. It was a rook base.
When I got close, I could see the ak still firing so I didn't have the ability to take in the troops, so I just watched the events unfold from my M3 from behind a hill.
Now I have to give credit to some fellow Knights as they were my eyes on the rest of the base where I had no visibility on. 2Bad and Sethbag and someone else.
With no air cover to take down the field guns, multiple enemy GV's on the base and the guys in the tanks had no vis on the guns, it didn't look good, just another dead run!!
But alas the air force showed up about the time I figured the GV's would spot me, but it was the Bishop air force. Thy took the AK down and killed the GV's.
I heard more GV's rolling, so I just wached to see if I could see which way they were headed.
What I heard was Bishop M3's. This was a planned mission to capture the base I believe. They let their troops run and I spotted them (2 sets) so I startd up and headed to the map room with my troops.
I got to the map room just as the first set was entering and managed to kill most of them with my machine gun and let my troops out at the same time. As my troops were entering the map room, the second set showed up and I cut them down and killed the second M3 as well, and captured the base.
Then I laughed.
Thanks again to 2Bad and Sethbag. Both great tankers. I always feel safer with them guys around.
