4064 AA.
3000 tanks were charged with the task of wiping out enemy infantry, the enemy forces had captured the details and deployed 6 times as many.We destroyed 10000 of theirs but our 3000 were lost and the mission failed.

Battle of Elostirion, 1938

The battle of Elostirion, which saw the fall of the Archonate of Kharnórë to the Most Serene Republic of Arandórë during the final years Amanitte Unification Wars was the largest battle of armoured vehicles in Amanitte history. Arandórë fielded more then 7,000 tanks against 2,000 kharnórian tanks and 5,000 so called "demi-tanks". The battle ended in an arandórëan victory with 700,000 kharnórian troops dead or wounded compared to just 200,000 dead and wounded arandóreans. 911 kharnórian tanks where destroyed, as well as more then 2,000 demi-tanks. Arandórë lost 657 tanks.

Less then two decades after the battle the prevelance of tanks, which reached a peak of 156,000 in 1948, declined and today the Unified Quendi State rarely deploys its tanks though it maintain a considerable amount of them.

Me and my younger brother once built tanks out of cardboard, then threw sticks at each other until one ran.

I won.

My neighbors and I just pointed sticks at each other and made gunshot sounds.

No one ever won.

That's not a tank battle.

That's trench warfare.

1941
German rebels (fegeleinland) VS SS panzer army
Location: Saxony

Force size
Fegeleinland: 235 tanks (100 Panzer IV 135 panzer III) infantry 1.5m (including crews) 55 Flak 88, 23 armored recon, 8 stuka divebombers

despite being drasticaly out numbered we had the element of surprise, more defensive posistions and the fact that the SS was spead out over Europe and not as well concentrared as us.
SS: casualties 2m
Fegeleinland: 600,000

i know unrealistic, but who cares?

2010-

An armored column of Nachtwulf MBTs of the Lonaran High Army's 12th armored division. was involved with the interventionary conflict of the Ketrilyian nuclear crisis. Throughout the two week engagement, the Lonaran tanks encountered many small-arms exchanges with ultranationalist combatants. Several kills were made against enemy T-90 tanks, and over one hundred soft-skin vehicles were destroyed by the Lonaran armor.
