Outside Berlin, Germany, April 1st, 1945: As it looked as if the Allied Troops would win the war, some of
the tank crews became bored. Whilst sitting together around a fire, strumming their guitars and smoking Kents,
they agreed to start a car race with tanks. They looked for a nice circuit outside Berlin and set the rules: No
rules. Next morning the crews started their engines and the tanks rolled up to the starting line. Supporting
infantry and fans became concealed in the adjacent woods, buildings and brushes. The racing steward, a young
Austrian private with burnt ears, looking much like the as yet unborn Niki Lauda, lowered the flag…
VICTORY CONDITIONS: The first nationality to complete 5 rounds win. If no team completes 5 rounds, the
match will get bloodier: The Nationality with the last surviving [i.e., able to move] Vehicle(s) on the board wins
(remember: after all, it‘s war!).
BOARD CONFIGURATION: Choose any boards you like, but make sure, that a racing circuit can be formed.
Mark the circuit with ’checkpoint-counters‘ (if you own B:RV, use the Russian flags, they really look great); all
racers must drive around the outside of these checkpoints.
BALANCE: Give any nationality chosen an extra Green or Conscript squad with a SW [EXC: no LATW] of
your choice.
ORDER OF BATTLE: Every nationality in play may choose from the whole pool of tanks and squads
available. The following possibilities for an OoB exist:
1. Choose 3 AFVs, one 9-1 Infantry Leader and 3 Squads, each with any SW you like.
2. Choose 6 trucks (unarmed) and 3 squads with a SW [EXC: no LATW and no HMG] of your choice.
3. Choose whatever you want… maybe OBA and Air Support make the game funnier…
Set up on any point of the agreed circuit. The first player (roll dice, highest roll starts) sets up a unit, then the
second player, the third player (if available) and so on. The set up is complete when every player has all his
units onboard [ELR:4] {SAN:4}.
AFTERMATH: The first tank knocked out was a French R35. A German Panzerfaust hit was too much for it.
In the first rounds the Italians had a tank in the lead, but an ESB DR of 12 destroyed their dreams of a victory.
After this American and Russian fans fought each other in the adjacent woods with their machine guns. The
incredible T-34 landed a Critical Hit on a German Panzer IV E and an American Sherman ran into the lead.
Unfortunately he was knocked out by a bypassing Crusader II, which eventually won the race. In the evening
they sat down again by the fire with their guitars and Kents‚ singing ‘God save the King‘…
