Just thought it might make for an interesting alternative Forum bar fight.

Long bows are rubbish, platoon fire is rubbish, Napoleon is rubbish, Wellington is rubbish, Tigers are rubbish, Centurions are rubbish. There, that should get things going! Alternatively, if it doesn't, all the above are brilliant.

Actually, there was a 1973 West German file, which got translated as "Chain Male meets Wendy in the House".   :-

From memory, the music was very tinny, and the plot seemed to revolve around the relationship between a plumber with a huge moustache who came to fix the pipes of the epoymous Wendy. Quite amusing really, because just before he turned up, she got drenched when a pipe burst and had to take her skirt off.

Don't remember what happened next, but I think later on she got drenched again when another pipe burst.

Sirrah. Unless you are referring to the Roman officer, would you do me the honour of naming your second?

Certainly, it's the T-55 over there! Say "argh, we've brewed up!" :D

Gentlemen, gentlemen...is it worth fighting over something as trivial and silly as tanks?

I would, but I've forgotten how!

Send me some of those nice T-55 models and I'll work it out ;)

Didn't some of the chaps in the WWI tanks wear chain mail face armour as protection from flying metal splinters?

Wasn't it to protect from flies? I understand they were traveling garbage heaps.
