M60A1 vs T-72A this week for Modern Monday and Demo Charge vs Tiger IE for WW2 Wednesday this week in the world of shorts (that sounded better in my head), followed up by the Americans tackling the Road to Cheux. For real this time- it got displaced from last week due to the final two Slitherine Tournament videos.

I don't have anything in the pipe this week for you guys yet but it's between going back to the NTC in CMCW or Operation Whetstone Mission 2. It's high time I got some PVP content out again, we're currently just waiting for the conclusion.

So, coming up for the next fortnight we have another Shock Force infantry firepower test- this time a Syrian mechanised squad having a go. Then we have another Black Sea Engagement Speed Test- everything is swapping positions this time so it's time for the T-72B3 to see how fast it can get two shots on target against an Abrams.

(This one has been a bit of an editing pain, MS17 has made a big deal of failing to render the whole thing, for some reason, so I've had to resort to tracking the apparently offensive component down, rendering without it and then overlaying it on top of the newly rendered video to make the whole thing. At least it renders fast, but you'd have thought this is the kind of problem I'd have with the older software, not the newer stuff. Thank God it only cost a tenner.)

Meanwhile, in WW2, I thought it'd be interesting to run the a comparative artillery test- just doing 105s without the VT would be really interesting, but the video names would be so similar it'd get confusing so I ramped up the calibre and we now have groundbursting 155mm Long Toms hitting our poor Grenadier platoon. It's a very different experience.

Finally, for a fun throwback we have an early war engagement- the Panzer IIIG made it into CMBN somehow and one of the expansions added a German-captured Chard 2b. It's a flamethrower variant, but that hardly matters! It's interesting to see a 1940-ish type engagement.

So there we go! As usual, don't forget you can vote for multiple options and to add any suggestions you've got in the comments!
