: Wow, you get around, eh? We certainly try. There are some tank crews that have seen more fields than we have but I think that's something that comes with time. After today I can tell you that the Cousins field upstate NY in Plattekill near Newburgh is an 'interesting' field. They have an area for big games that was a lot of fun. It was extremely tight for our Tiger (it's 7' wide) and 4 wheel drive with a high ground clearance would have helped greatly. The fields tank didn't have any problems. It's got the 4 wheel drive and higher ground clearance and isn't anywhere near as wide as the Tiger. We actually had someone able to shoot down into the forward gunners hatch at one spot on the field because of the hills. George our driver took a hit on that one. It's very hilly with a lot of rocks and little stumps to watch out for that made some rough rides. We had a great time with the staff there and going back and forth with the fields tank crew. A quad based tank would probably have the greatest advantage there.
