EVENTS
2012

Atturbury 2012

 
The 14th made a strong showing at Atturbury this year.  We took the field with 3 Stuarts.  The action started on Friday night with troops from both sides deploying into the field.  The bulk of each side chose to hit the barracks for a good nights sleep prior to combat.  We woke up to rain.  Cold rain. 
Our initial contact with the enemy was on a road, of course, resulting in dead tanks.  As we got off the connecting roads and accessed some open terrain the armor really did well.  Many shells were bounced off of the Tiger!  I like to think that a few of them may have taken off a track or scratched the paint.  Later action included wiping out the German occupied village with a rear attack.  Then a massive thunderstorm sent everyone back to the staging area.  As troops began to leave a decision was made to have a tank only engagement.  The Panzer III took us up on the offer.  This repowered machine was impressive, very fast with suprising rate of fire.  A few skirmishes later we were all done for.  A succussful trip with no mechanical failures!

The 14th returned to Oak Ridge for another great re-enactment.  This year we brought two M5A1 Stuart tanks to the battle.  The WC-21 and CCKW also made the trip.
