20 bugs vs. tanks! - first go with the amphibious tank!

Dear Readers,

Now to begin the level 6 missions! The first is 6-1, Operation: Shadow Play.

Joachim and Ernst talked about how this place got cleaned out of its supplies, supposedly by the ones who injured the queen hornet from the last mission. We decided to look for them, be they friend or foe.

We left the base and up ahead we spotted a tank on the move! It was a Soviet T-34. We kept following it into the marshland, where it disappeared. Its tracks led into the deep water though. Time ran out on us! I didn't know it was that kind of a mission.

We tried again at a more swift pace. We eventually came across a base full of tanks and soldiers from the Allied forces! Also, they were shrunk, just like we were! Ernst questioned our original hypothesis on whether they were the ones who shrunk us. Joachim said we couldn't rule it out but we had to report back immediately. We got an A rank with 472 points.

Colonel Diekmann congratulated us on securing our old base and wanted to consider the Allies carefully, so he told us to get some rest for the next few missions.

We didn't find the abandoned tank, so I decided to redo the stage and equip the Type 2 Ka-Mi chassis to maybe be able to explore the deeper water. It worked a treat! It was a much slower tank fitting of course, but we were able to go on the water and explore to find the tank, and sail for a shorter route to the Allied base!

New Tank:

British DD Sherman - The amphibious British tank! It had like a big flotation thing around it and propellers to make it move in the water. Seems like better equipment to use in the water for later. In the meantime, I switched back to the fast Cromwell chassis once this mission was over.
