Tank Command

Are you interested in seeing tanks in action in a way you have never seen them before?
Are you interested in being able to take command of a tank, or even a whole team of tanks, and lead it into battle?

Are you interested in having FUN?

I really hope that your answer to at least one of the above questions is yes, so read on.
TANK COMMAND offers a totally new slant on the team games market, we run bookings for adults, children (age 11 up), works do's, scout and cadet groups, and also have a very good team building format for our corporate clients.


The basic idea is unbelievably simple, we have a fleet of Tamiya's excellent 1/16th scale radio controlled tanks, that until recently have all been Tiger 1's. we split this fleet into two teams, and customers hire us by the hour to fight set piece battles in our spacious, indoor, fully equipped battle arena.When battle commences, tank commanders will have forests to use as cover, villages to defend and rivers to cross, all this under fire from the enemy team, whose job is to deny the other team their objective. A good way to describe TANK COMMAND is "paintballing the lazy way", the only difference being that nothing more than a harmless infra red beam is fired, so no bulky protective equipment is needed.


What makes our job so much easier is the fact that not only do we seem to have really caught the imagination of the public with what we do, but there is also the fact that radio controlled tanks have always been seen as a very expensive sector of the market.
Not any more! For a fraction of the cost of buying one of these brutes, you not only get to have a go on one, but you actually get to do what tanks were designed to do, take it into battle!

It's a bit like radio controlled cars in that they are fun on their own, but when you get a group together and RACE them, which is what they are made for, the activity becomes something else entirely, something exciting.

Armour fans can now become the tank commanders they always dreamt of being, or in somecases no doubt, the tank commanders they actually were.

TANK COMMAND is also in great demand for model shows and just about any other sort of county event, for those interested, the details for these shows will be posted on our website shortly.

TANK COMMAND is a unique, fun and exciting activity that is very easy to pick up, and very hard to put down, we have customers that return time after time to try and even out "grudge matches" resulting from their last battle session with us, and as we are continually adding to the experience, our repeat customers are always pleasantly surprised by what we have added since their last visit.

For instance, we now have back ground sound effects of small arms fire and heavy artillery, and a smoke machine that we use as the "smoke barrage" that signals the beginning of a battle. We score teams on how many tanks are knocked out, and at the end of a session can give teams a breakdown of how they did. The winning team receive small trophies as a reward, and all players get a TANK COMMAND certificate.

If any of you are trying to decide wether or not to take the plunge and buy one of these magnificent models, we are ideal for a "Try Before You Buy" booking, where you will get the chance to experience all that these vehicles can do. There will also be "Open Championships" for owners of these types of tanks planned for later in the year,

The future of TANK COMMAND is rosy, with bookings coming in thick and fast, and next years event / booking diary filling up already, we are looking to expand what we do by way of selling franchises to those who have what it takes. This would enable us to cover more and more of the UK for both private / corporate bookings, and Events such as county / military shows etc.

For those of you who would like further details, on any of the above, full contact details can be found on our website at http://www.tankcommand.org or you can call John on: 01452 553853 or 07833 161441.
