Hello All,
Just a quick note to introduce myself.
As well as being a lifelong armor nut, i now run a company that hires out a fleet of the Tamiya R/C tanks all of which are fitted with the battle system.
We are in huge demand for Corporate and Private Team Games sessions, and also do "Walk By" trade at various Military and county shows and events.
Its a dream job, which makes people grin like idiots, and allows me to get paid for letting people play with R/C Tanks!
We are looking to expand what we do, and would love to get someone up and running over in the US, as you guys love these sort of games even more than us Brits.
Well thats my peice, i promise not to bang on about this again, i will stick to non business related topics from now on, but if anyone want to get in touch about the above, feel free!
now........do i order 8 of the new Tamiya Leo 2a6's?@:)

Thanks all.
John

Good Morning Marine,
To be honest, it wouldn't really matter where in the US we get our first "TANK COMMAND" going, as long as we can at least get started!

Pete,

Good guess, we did appear in MIS a while back.

BTW, gotta love both yours and Joe's signatures, both get a HUGE thumbs up from me.

cheers

it certainly would pete.

and as for our sig lines, me and pete are members of the british public, so of course we think that! just westminster doesnt listen! :-)

BTW royalhussar, where abouts are you? it would be great if we could organise an armorama get together and have a good battle at your place!

cheers

Joe, Pete, and any other armor nuts out there in Blighty.

We (Tank Command) are based in Gloucester, about 2 mins from the M5, Junc 12.

I'm very wary of abusing this site by looking as if i just want to drum up business, so here's an idea.
Rather than simply coming to us for a battle session, how about looking at making it a proper get together with maybe a model show of sorts.
We can take care of organising the "Battling", if any of you guys wanted to bring models for display, we will award medals to the days "Top Guns" and we could also stretch to a selection of prizes for any display models shown.

Our venue is indoors, and has excellent catering facilities, so the offer is there if anybody would like to discuss it.

Though obviously, if you all just want a good tank battle, we can do that too! :-)

I hope this sounds good to some of you.

And yeah, I am sick of the way the goverment fails to Govern!
