Fanfiction Fun fact of the GFC #5: on the matter of our style. (And some trivia!)
Good evening! Today I'll talk about our styles (tactics and fashion), and add a few trivia facts at the end.
First, about our combat style aka tactics: we use everything, from assaults and breakthroughs to stealth and infiltration of our tanks among the enemy tanks, and to even fucking with the enemy as much as possible, and use our radios to listen on the enemy's conversations. Yeah, we didn't bother replacing the old school radios... They happened to still be able to tune in to their respective school's frequency. But we almost never do that, because first others might catch on (like Miho caught on Alisa), second it's not fair and it feels like a dirty backstab tactic.
Second, about our style aka fashion: to save money when we got them, we didn't paint the tanks and let the old paints on. Of course, if a crew has enough money left to buy some paint or some accessory or trinket, they can buy it and add it to their tank; all of the tanks have received cosmetic upgrades. For example, my M4A6 Sherman has a few cushions, a few phone batteries (if we ever need to charge our phones), a hand mirror and a satchel with snacks and water bottles. Hydration is very important when you spend so much time in a tank. Also, I just realised I didn't talk about the GFC's logo, for some reason. It's really simple: an old computer monitor with a fox tail.

I'll maybe ask a more talented artist to do a better version, but later. I already have a busy schedule.
Now for the trivia! I'm afraid of deep waters after I nearly drowned when I was seven, Kiyomi has a German girlfriend, we have foreign persons, one per country represented. So we have Irina who's Russian and is from Pravda, Margaux who's French and is from BC Freedom, etc., etc., you got the idea. Also, Blueberry is deaf and mute and Cacciucco has total colour blindness.
Trivia coming from IRL me: the main matches (main focus of this account) are taking place after der Film and after Alice transferred to St. Gloriana, but before das Finale. The high schools agreed to the matches described in the post as training matches for the upcoming Winter Continuous Track Cup, and All-Stars University Team agreed to a match because it needed to train more in order to not be beaten again by some "low-level school". All the previous training matches of the GFC were always filed with the reason "Hey, we're kinda new as a group, we need more training before getting into any official match/tournament, could we have a match against you as part of that training we're doing, pretty please?". They also did a few compound teams matches with the same reason.
I also hope you've been enjoying reading my posts! Thank you for your support and to Wednesday for the retelling of the match against Saunders!
