Specialist Konn.G
Specialist Lemon.D

Pros:

• More fun than we thought
• Playing against the odds was good adrenaline rush

• Assigning armor their own TS channel might be worth the try in our comms system we are implementing.
• As fun as David and Goliath is, maybe giving the American's only tank crew a heavy armor asset vs. 2 German medium tanks might have been a better balance
