Skirmish VIII: Boom & Zoom

Boom and Zoom is generally a fighter tactic, not something tanks do, right?




Tanks can't move fast enough for anything resembling a boom 'n' zoom. Unless, of course, you're in a Bat Chat or T-50-2. In that case you are playing the tank very, very wrong and will die a horrible and embarrassing death.

It wasn't taken out of the game completely. They merely disabled it for the Random Battles map lineup. You can still choose to play on it in Training battles and several Clan Wars provinces use it.

Oh ok, Guess I have just never looked fully in the Training room map list.

Let arty complaining that light tanks aren't worth shooting at vs the shell cost begin!  

[Pendan]

Was low signups for this skirmish. I don't see people being critical of the format so was just the result of some having too many tournaments going on right now while others did not have the proper tanks?

[lord_mallak]

To many tournies running at once...I get 2 but not 3 or 4

[Teram]

Just wanted to say it was fun and GGs to the Anvil/Garfield guys. Congrats to making it to the finals and it was a pleasure!

[Captain_Judo]

We had a first, two weeks ago, when a team went undefeated during the entire Skirmish. Add Shot Blockers Inc. to that elite list

Skirmish 8 was also a first in that we had it shoutcasted live! Thankfully, our friend Clutch has uploaded the video for all. It's an entertaining final to watch    

[callmesarge]

Congrats Guys!

[Teram]

Thanks Sarge! To bad skirmishes don't get a bonus like challenges do.  If it happens so rarely, maybe it should have one too? :P

[LESTAT_SiK]

Yes, we had the unfortunate pleasure of playing these guys first and are still unpacking our behinds. Good job fellas.
