Fightin' Robots
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
Apparently, the Germans used remote-controlled micro tanks (called Goliaths) during WWII. Somehow I had never heard of these until they appeared in Company of Heroes. According to Wikipedia, they weren't all that effective, but dang... fighting robots! The Russians also used radio-controlled full-size tanks in Finland.
The next WWII game I run is definitely going to have some robots.

Looks kinda photoshopped.
But true or not, WWII robots sound solid to me.
Oh ye of little faith!
They were real.
As usual the Germans took the technically complicated road. The Russians simply strapped explosives to dogs and sent them running for German tanks.
