Even out in the field. Any time there was a break in the training, we’d gather at one of the tanks, the DM would get out his dice, his screen, and his adventure module notes, and we’d have a little fun.

Interesting craving for adventure. There we were, surrounded by a company of million-dollar tanks, high-tech equipment like night-vision goggles and targeting computers, and of course, all of the small arms, machine guns, and heavy weaponry you can imagine.

And we were using our imaginations to conjure up a fantasy sword-and-sorcery epic.

I used to be in a band that toured all through the southeast and we often hit 'military' towns. We, as a group, often played (I was the DM) on the road. We had people who played with us when we were in town. The military towns were where we had the biggest groups to join us. There were always players in all branches that we played with. One Army buddy told me that they usually strapped a folding table to one of the tanks to have it for gaming in the field. LOL.

6. We usually sat on the front slope of the tank. You had to traverse the gun over the side first.

The back deck was another place we liked to play, as long as the tank engine wasn't running. I liked sitting out on the rear of the turret. The open commander's hatch made a nice backrest.
