Oh, these were great fun!! I remember one of them, the 'Dompaire' rumble set in France. I liked the role-playing element within it, the limited radio-messages on various networks (platoons, command-net). The Ref did not only tell you what you saw when you saw it. He also told you what you heard when you heard it (provided your own tank engine was turned off). And you saw much less while BU.Did anybody mention the Tank Rumbles of the mid 90's? Can't recall who put it together but it wuz essentially a referred gig, using tanks, between teams of players played on VASL via PBEM. The Ref told you what you saw when you saw it.
Actually, I created my alias "von Marwitz" for the tank rumbles. The US-players still have a soft spot for harsh sounding German names - so I gave one to them. As an added bonus, I could genuinely swear in German on the platoon net... Good times!
