As the old phrase goes, it is better late than never…. OK that really cannot apply to RC Tanking, but we have updated the CanAm event calendar for the Ed Reimer field.

The field itself has undergone a huge re-build with major terrain shifts. Ren’s Hill is no more!

There is a lot of room for close quarters combat as well as a few sniper spots for long range engagements/

This phenomenal arch was hand made by a Garrison member. The Sherman, “Anita 2” proceeds through the arch in search of Axis forces…

There! Coming out of smoke from the burning village… It is a King Tiger!

Soon we will be adding more images to show off the Ed Reimer battlefield. Until the next update!

As the outdoor tanking season draws closer to an end for 2021, it is hard not to think of all the good things that have come about so far this year.

The Good:

  • The Can-Am crew got to FINALLY start larger scale battling again after the COVID pandemic waves. Such a blessing.
  • Edward “Knispel” Reimer was honoured for his years of outstanding efforts to get the KW Battlefield into a premiere area for RC tank combat. Renamed to Reimer Field.
  • The Can-Am crew had a influx of RC Tankers!
  • Reimer Field was expanded and had many aspects of the battlefield overhauled.
  • AQUINO happened! You were missed!

While the bad things are not as numerous… They are still not good in the least…

The Bad:

  • COVID still causing issues
  • Too many of our long time fellow tankers have passed from this mortal battlefield. A memorial wall has been added to the Links as a pulldown menu item or (here).
    • Bud Lancaster
    • Greg Cunningham
    • Edward Reimer

Yes. Life does go on, but those individuals have touched many of the lives of Can-Am crew members. They will not be forgotten and will all be sorely missed.
