Amusing article in regards to museum tanks and the Ukraine

the only problem with Civil War cannon being used is that the gunners are very exposed due to ranges - anyone with any kind of decent hunting rifle and a scope would be picking off the gunners pretty easily -

Here are a couple of pictures I found not sure what type of Artillery Cannon this is. Washingston State is now using M-60 Tanks, which is what the second picture is off

Only if you keep the cannon in the open. Put in an sanger or pillbox pointing in the right direction, and the hunting rifle at a couple hundred yards is not as big a threat as the cannon.

When did they start using tanks Must make avalanche control a fun job for sure - and an easy commute as well - no one cuts off a tank

There's at least one state that has a T-55 for the same purpose. What kind of round do you use in avalanche control

Basic HE: Gives a nice hard enough Bang and Shock to break up the snow packs.

Speaking of museum tanks have been doing research and found an interesting idea for an encounter for anyone playing in Italy or possibly the Italian occupied areas of Yugoslavia - if the Italians were desperate enough to use these before they pulled out

L 3/33, L 3/35, L3/38 and L6 tankettes from WWII - turns out there a several of them running around in running condition just lacking armament in Italy - definitely be a head scratcher to pull out of the encounter deck to surprise your party
