We go on our 10th mission with British Tank Ace, the World War 2 solitaire tank combat game where you are in charge of a British tank in either North Africa, Italy, or Europe. Fight missions, level up your crew, win medals, and try to survive the war. Designed by Gregory Smith and published by Compass Games.

Known Errors
1 - I rolled for turret/hull hits twice on the Italian tanks, but they were both hull down, so all hits are assumed to be on the turret.
2 - When resolving an Italian infantry attack, I forgot to add a +1 DRM because the infantry was suppressed.
3 - We destroyed two tanks, so I should have rolled at the end of the mission to see if we were Mentioned in Dispatches. I'll do this at the beginning of the next mission.
4 - I misunderstood the buttoned up penalty for the Coaxial MG, which is fired by the Gunner. There is no buttoned up penalty for this MG if the commander is unbuttoned, so we should not have applied a +1 DRM to our attacks against the Italian infantry at the end of the mission.
5 - I forgot to run our new crew through the Bovington Training School before they joined our tank. I'll fix that in the next episode. :)
