1780 LW Tankovy

[Timbo]

I think I'm going to give my Rota a rest and bring the Tankovy to the tournament in Regina this weekend. This is what I'm looking at. It should be able to both attack and defend reasonably well, and still has the mass of a good Soviet list:

That looks similar to what you played against me on Saturday. I thought that one did very well and was very mobile.

It's similar. This one has 9 platoons instead of 8, so it should score a little better. I also have Spets instead of BAs so I can infiltrate one of my tank companies if needed. I dropped the SU-122s which are great in normal games, but they always die. You need 6-1s, not 4-3s is the thinking here.
