I am by no means an expert, but what I have gathered is that it, like almost everything in combat, is incredibly complex.

With the correct support and combined arms usage tanks are an absolute devastating force on the battlefield still. Used correctly they can completely change a battle.

But they aren’t war winners by themselves, and have never been. Unsupported a single tank is exactly a big expensive target, just like a modern fighter and or a single soldier.

The idea that tanks can be wonder weapons and that they alone can turn the tide of a war has existed since WW2, but they have always had weaknesses that need to be covered by supporting elements in order to be used effectively.

How the Abrams will do in Ukraine is anyone’s guess. The Abrams has never seen combat without the might of the US’s military logistics backing it up.

All that being said, if you are in a firefight, would you rather have a tank backing you up, or not? I’d take the tank support.

Yup, my wife and I both want kids.

We’re now pretty set on adoption.

Using it to determine if you get pregnant and then suddenly aren’t. So they can charge you for getting an abortion.

That’s where I was able to find him.

Highly recommend it!

This is exactly as the model came, I’m still playing with settings, but I’m super happy with the way this killy little dude turned out.

I’ve seen some fantastic minis come of of FDM printers once you dial in the settings, I’m just not that good.

Tokens are a great idea!

Thanks! The model and printer are both really good. Can’t recommend the D2 enough to anyone considering it

Currently printing on an anycubic photon D2 ultra, have a prusa XL on order for my FDM machine. Last FDM was a monoprice maker select + that was a workhorse for years before I gave it to a friend when I moved in may.
