10 bugs vs. tanks! - rescuing tanks rolled up by dung beetles

Dear Readers,

Now it was time to start the Level 4 missions. In 4-1, Operation: AntBlitz, Colonel Diekmann told us we got an SOS signal from three tanks who were captured by ants and we had to save them.

This time we had a time limit! Joachim said we had to find which ants had the three tanks before time ran out. There was a big gross winged ant as well as the big termites. We failed on our first attempt, only finding two tanks before time ran out. The second time we failed again when we tried to go faster when we tried to skip some enemies, but got piled on and destroyed. On our third attempt we got on much better! We even found an abandoned tank. Some ants we had to chase to get them to drop the tanks. I got a rank A with a score of 457.

New tanks:

British Firefly - It was made to compete with German tanks and had an interesting bit of painted camouflage to make the barrel appear shorter.

Mission 4-2 - Operation: Tank Roller.

Colonel Diekmann told us to answer 4 more distress signals that were getting weak. It seemed to be routine, but it looked like there was a new type of bug to deal with this time. Time limit applied here too.

The first tank we found inside a dung beetle's roll! They were all found inside dung beetle rolls and we recovered them all. We also offered to wash their tanks. I got a rank A with a score of 478.

New bug:

Dung beetle - it was very easy to deal with. We only had to find them.

I took on the mission again to find the abandoned tank and got a better score of 481 with the A rank.

New tank:

American M4A3 Sherman - Lots of nice stars on it. It says this was the preeminent Allied tank since so many were produced.
