Here is a link to some information about the tanks:

Pillage, then burn.

Everything is air-droppable at least once.

A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.

That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.

There is no "overkill".  There is only "Open Fire" and "Time to Reload!"

The article says you can only operate one of each color tank and only up to four tanks -- as only four colors have been made.  How many tanks do you plan to field?

I have the one set with the Green and Tan tanks.  I sent the link to my home email and will look into acquiring the other set.  There is usually a group of younger gamers that want to play with them.  We did have a small technical problem with one tank that has kept them off the schedule for a while but that has been resolved.  There is a design problem with the way the seat attaches to the ejection mechanism.  If you push too hard the seat can detach and it weakens the connection making it easier for the seat to detach each time.  It's a simple fix involving spanning a small gap with a piece of this wire.  Five minutes with a pin drill and wire cutters solves the problem.

At work we had the shocking variety and would play with them in the computer room until HR found out.
