Top 5 Tankettes
00:02:20 – We lay down the ground rules for the discussion.
00:04:45 – No.5! Duncan pushes the definitions, Lee starts at the beginning and Eddie gets his Italian choice in early.
00:07:50 – No.4! Duncan shouts random letters till he gets a tankette, Lee jumps the gun with his and Eddie goes with the minor axis.
00:13:00 – No.3! Duncan flounders around onto another entry, Lee goes modern and Eddie has a repeat.
00:17:00 – No.2! Duncan goes multi-task, Lee has a repeat and Eddie goes even east-er.
00:19:24 – No.1! Duncan goes with a stunning commercial success, Lee massacres Japanese pronunciations and Eddie pulls one out from the depths of Bovington…
00:22:00 – We crown our unlikely and reluctant winner, as well as working out what the next top 5 will be.
Loose Lips Sink Ships
00:23:00 – We discuss our highlights of the recent Twitch streams Battlefront have done. Lee froths about the upcoming TY US books and the Soviet T-80, Eddie reveals the golden rule of painting for a profit and Duncan speculates on plastic BRDM and Centurions…

An Officer Answers

01:20:00 – Steven asks “With v2 TY out for a while now and the new Brit book also setting a trend with super MBT’s; what would your best soviet afghantsy list look like? And what about an Iraqi list?”
01:25:20 – Chris asks “Given the standardisation of some NATO nations to use similar equipment to others, will we see the likes of the Danes, Belgians, Italians and Greeks formations entering the fray?”
01:27:30 – James asks “Hey guys, I’m starting to build some ANZACS for TY, I want to add more stowage anywhere apart from battlefront you’d recommend for getting stuff from?”
