“The new camera is a game changer”
Not inappropriately, my first Armored Brigade II casualty was a Fox. One of two scout cars secreted amongst trees on the eastern edge of the Bohemian village of Staré Sedlo, the AFV in question decided to take on a mob of approaching Soviet T-62s and BTRs on its own, and finished up brown bread as a result. Moments after it was set ablaze by a supersonic suppository, I noticed the ‘SOP’ customisation panel that might have saved its life.
Friday Foxer #204
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.

I need to turn to the less judgmental bespoke scoring system laid out in the launch article to determine which team gets the gold gong, and which the silver.
Combat Mission Olympiad: Turn 14
In the final turn of the 2024 CM Olympiad neither team lose AFVs to FPV drones, do battle with undead Berber warriors, or unearth, with mortar bombs, the northern entrance to a fabled trans-Saharan tunnel.
