King and Country Tanks ! Roll baby Roll.... (1 Viewer)

We'll have to fight who one day, the Russians? You're kidding right? Since the USSR declared chapter 11, they are a no longer a threat. Maybe if this was 1957 instead of 2007.................
 
Ron's in a time warp. Ron, the first Sputnik just went up into space and the team you root for is the Senators, not the Nationals ("first in war, first in peace and last in the American League") :eek:
 
I NEVER GOT AROUND TO GETTING THE T-34. IT IS A GOOD LOOKING TANK BUT I ALWAYS GOT SIDED TRACKED (NO PUN INTENDED) INTO BUYING SOMETHING ELS.
 
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME TANKS WITH WORKING TRACKS AND SUSPENSION. THAT WOULD MAKE MY WEEK.:D

Ron,

The Washington team used to be the Senators. I'm assuming you knew that.

The first edition of the Senators moved to Minnesota and became the Twinkies, circa 1960.

Then then started a new version but it still stunk like the old edition. That team lasted until 1971 when they moved to Texas and become the Rangers.

I was at that last game in 1971 (I was attending GWU). What a wild affair. I'll never forget it. Everybody was lambasting Bob Short, the owner, and he was an idiot, to put it nicely. Yankees had taken the lead, then Senators went ahead 3-2 (I think in the 7th). When the Nats came to the plate in the 8th, a few fans ran onto the field and were warned that a repitition would lead to a default. They got the fans off the field. The game continued. The Senators may have scored another run. Yankees weren't that good then. This was pre-Steinbrenner.

Then came the ninth. Oh, my god, it was like someone had opened the gates. Thousands of fans ran onto the field. It was like nothing you'd ever seen. Unbelievable. Everything on the field was taken, bases, lightbulbs, grass, you name it. In the stands, people were trying to take off seats. Momentous end to Washington baseball until the Nationals came along.

And, in case you wondered, no, I didn't run onto the field or take (or try) to take anything.

Are you sure you dont have a third base laying around somewhere in your house?

I have heard that story and Senators had to forfeit the game - didnt they?

Well things havent gotten that much better - we are in desparate need of pitching. Oh well there is always next year. :rolleyes:

It was a forfeit, 9-0.

God, I wish I did. I'll never forget that game. What was even funnier was that the Senators used to announce birthdays during the game and one of my friends had called in because my birthday was coming up and so they announced my name. After the game, I ran into a high school friend, Larry Green, who was going to American and he said to me "I thought I heard your birthday announced."

Amazing evening.
 
I wonder if Andy is going to do more French World War II Tanks like the Renault R-35 or the SOMUA S-35 for the Fields of Battle range??

I don't know what it is but the French Tanks don't appeal so much to me.Maybe its because i'm not so familiar with them.(same as the Italian/Japenese tanks i guess).

Another K&C vehicle that i really like is the recently released M11 Tank destroyer.Gives my Bulge troops a little armoured punch,although they are still woefully out gunned.
