TanK Klub Update!
Last Sunday's TanK KluB was the best and largest ever. Over 25 players showed up, and with several regulars unable to make it last week, that means alot of new faces trying it for the first time. This event is growing and everyone seems to be having fun. I started out expecting to keep people's attention for only an hour or so. We are now going on for two and even two and a half hours, and many still want to do more!
Anyway, I introduced a new jeep race course and congrats to B4Buster for his win. He lead from the start and never looked back. Though some stayed close for awhile, by the end of the second lap he was clearly in command of the lead. No one it seems could touch him.
For this coming Sunday, I have two new games. One is again a jeep race, but this time it's a Team Relay race on a fast lap track. [If you want to know how I devised a 'fast track' 'relay' race in the DA, you'll just have to show up and find out.
]
The second new game is a variation on Shooting Gallery that I call "Fox in the Henhouse". It's a type of turkey shoot competition of tank main gun shooting kill. Might be fun.
All this and one or two of our other regular games: BattleRoyal, Home Run, Davids & Goliaths (which I really like to call "Kill the Churchladies"
) or Verminator.
We are quickly reaching the point where I might have a chance to get a CM interested in hosting at least one event for us in the SEA. This would be a major tank battle requiring CinC's on both sides, multiple spawns, targets, bases and tactical options, probably running a full two hours. Sort of a cross between a Snapshot (1 frame only) and a Scenario (sign up to participate, and some pre-strategizing and tactical planning). I already have three possible battles planned out and nearly operational. I'm still trying to find the right name for such an event. My best idea so far is "TanK KluB - Iron Battleground!". Any other ideas out there?
Now for a survey question for anyone who has yet to attend a TanK KluB event (no need for past attendees to reply, I know your answer
). If I can get a major tank battle scenario together and hosted in the SEA, who would be interested in signing up for it and participating (real life allowing of course)??? [FYI - probably be a 2 week period to sign up and plan strategy prior to the event happening.]
I'm trying hard to put together something new for everyone to enjoy, though GV's are not everyone's thing, alot of people do like fighting in them. I'm hoping TanK KluB will provide one more dimension for enjoyment of AH overall.
And remember... TanK KluB, this coming, and every, Sunday, 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern (and those two other time zones in between) hosted in the DA. Show up and tune your vox to 203.
P.S. Preferrably show up a little early as it takes some time to get organized at the start. Also, for those that don't know how to set up CM Eye Mode so that they can watch the ongoing battle once they are, uhhh, removed from the immediate action, I will provide instruction to do so before TanK KluB starts.
