After the Chelmsford Conflict, there was little we could do. We were short of supplies, and more importantly, firepower. A dire situation for most of us. And then the order came to start withdrawing. Forces were spread thinly and we needed to regroup. We started retreating, towards the South-West at first, but we met resistance time and time again. It was now the start of September, and the leaves were beginning to turn. All that we knew was that before too long, we would be back out there, battling against the King's Own Regiment, fighting for freedom. See October Revolution for battle reports, video and photos.
In a world confused by the fog of economic turmoil, a few intrepid tankers go behind enemy lines to steal gold from a heavily defended casino.

With rising fuel prices, and no sign of stopping, the public are angry. In a desperate attempt to cut their prices Enter the King's Own Regiment (KOR) - a rapidly growing extremist party, whose radical policies appealed to the masses, causing governmental concern. One of the towns divided by the conflict was Chelmsford, in the heart of the Essex countryside, where several loyalists were in the process of restoring an old, battle-scarred Challenger 2 to former glory. Technicians were mustered and a major restoration process began. Several days later, the government attacked the KOR to the north of Chelmsford. See Chelmsford Conflict for more details.
Representing an ultra-militant faction within the Green Coalition, the Maryland Attack Group (MAG) declared war on the Pennsylvania Urban Fighting Force (PUFF) for "crimes against the environment stemming from a complete disregard for nature and the world we live in" in the town of Greensburg. This titanic struggle between good and evil took place on June 7th on a small farm in Jessup Maryland. Little did anyone know that the heat would be the only true winner. See Green War for more details.
In anticipation of a larger Northern European conflict expected in May 2008, a couple of veteran members met on a goat farm to battle their tanks for the first time on Feb 9, 2008. They learned a lot about what it takes to keep tanks battling and also how much fun can be had even with technical problems. No goats were harmed during the event. See Low Lands Border Conflict for more details.
The first official European tank battle pitted three English gentlemen against each other in the soggy countryside on Dec 30, 2007. Despite some mechanical failures, vehicles were destroyed, mission points were earned and fun was had by all. See 1st Battle of Britain for more details.
The first un-official European battle was waged on Dec 26, 2007 in a junkyard between two light tanks. Although the tanks don't qualify under the construction rules to be officially designated, they definitely portray the spirit of the hobby and provide just as much fun. See 1st Greek Battle for more details.
