Who doesn't like a bit of tank jousting? I laughted at the 500m penalty run for missing a target. If only it worked that way in wartime. I was with you all the way up to the synchronized "tanking" scene. What was that about?

That was the "adult" part of the film...
Where did you think little tanks came from??? :rofl:

I liked the interview at the end, where the guy was talking about "REAL men in REAL tanks!" Oooh, soooo macho!!!
:cheers:

Yeah, me too... Reminded me of one of my favorite movies, which also is about a tank.
