It seems that uh... things are getting a bit 'steam' between these two tonight. Can't wait to see Montana and Saunders put aside their difference and to see Alice again.
Also, earnestly waiting for Austin & Nonna.

Can't they just take the tanks and leave the women so the JSF crews don't have any tanks to use

hmmm fluff chapter to break up the tenseness that was in the last chapter

Actually, it wasn't the British that Washington attacked. It was a garrison of Hessian mercenaries.

y'know with already having war crimes under their belt {how the boys was treated by the federation forces minus the School teams} it's not going to if the federation forces will start using Live ammo instead of the modified semi-duds used in sensha-do/tankery I mean what was supposed to be match to 'decide' if the USA should keep their tankery sport or not {which is B.S and should've become a international issue due to a foreign power attempting to influence another foreign powers sports} but now the match has basically become a war with both the US and Jap schools vs the Japanese sensha-do federation {shiho nishizumi}

nice chapter and has me wondering who Miho will pair up with as I can see Maho pairing up with her fellow co-commander Edward, we've seen Rivers and Naomi pairing up and the very heavy hinting of Nonna and Austin pairing up and Mark and Kay will either end up having either a sibling bond with each other or end up paired together

Well, some more detail on the escape would have been nice. However, it's to see the American boys freed and Shiho completely losing it made me smile. I wonder, could the treatment of the boys be the real reason that BC Freedom, Anzio, and the other schools pulled out of the contest? Also, having a few co-ed and junior high/Middle school teams would have been nice.

(Hey this may seem like a re-post but for some reason, it did not pop-up that I posted it the first time, so I thought I might have mis-clicked on something but it looks like that is not the case. Feels free to review both reviews if you want.)

First: No, No, No, No, No on how the boys are being treated.

Second: It is nice for the high school girls to turn their views around. Though the boys might be a bit skeptical first. While, yes, they did free them from captivity they might think it is a trap; because as soon as all of them return back to Glendale. Boom, stab in the back. Not to mention if the back stan does not happen, there will still be some hostility because of the way they were treated.

Third: I know you replied that you had to cut the five schools since it has becoming to write and compensate all the characters. But I question where Alice and UST are? I know they were present in chapter 4. As mentioned I know you can't write for every character and I understand that, but it would like to see cute, little Alice have a boyfriend of her own. Pardon for my language but heck the rest of Anglerfish, the rest of Ooarai's team, Orange Peoke, Assam, Erika, Arisa, Naomi, etc. have fewer speaking roles. It would be nice to see their reactions to what is currently and going to happen. Along with them hooking up of course.

Fourth: Akari said that Shiho gave her full permission on how to handle the prisoners. Yes, it is breaking the rules agreed upon by the Federation and the Association. However, it is interesting to see where you are going to take her. One hand while she did give autonomous authority to Akari to handling the prisoner, she could be appalled by their treatment. Yes, she wants to shut down American tankery but even she has morals on how they are treated. As soon she learns about what has been going on, she could have a change in heart.
On the other hand, it is possible she is also the one who ordered them to be treated that way, just to ensure no other boys follow in tankery. In that case, Maho and Miho lost all respect for their mother.
I know the series never fully goes to deep into her background and character; however many fanfics and people on this site, including my self. Prefer the Shiho that even though she has a stoic face, she deeply cares for her daughters and is a nice person after all. But this is your story and I'm not forcing you, just asking where this story is going to go and giving suggestions.

Lastly, a friend of mine read the last chapter and he discussed with me that this is technically a lose lose situation for the JSF. On one hand, if the boys win, they get to keep their senshado. On the other, yes the Federation wins and the boys lose their tankery. However, the Federation is going to receive a lot of calls from the Association, American schools, and parents asking/demanding why are their students/children malnourished, beaten up, and have broken bones. Hope the Federation has some good lawyers.

Good luck and looking forward to the rest of this great story.

This is dark
I showed this to my brother, he said "I wish the air force came in like booyah bitch!" Because seriously, Tankery/Senshe do is meant, like how Kay said, for fun, not a thing to kill over. I really want the Federation's commander to be killed my River or Miho.
Also, River/Naomi?

First: No, No, No, No, No on how they are treating the guys. Sensado is supposed to teach and support women independence and beauty, here though tossed all out the window.

Second: Looks like all of the highschool members are finally starting to come around. Yes, Shiho will probably be furious that both of her daughters basically betrayed the family lineage; however, as soon as word gets out of what has been going and how the Federation has been treating the boys. She will probably have a change in heart or sadly probably she is the one who ordered the mistreatment of the boys to make sure that no one follows in American tankery. If that is the case ouch! 'Friendship Island' my ass.

Third: Yes even though the girls did break them out. There is possibly some hostility between cause of how they were treated and they might think this whole thing is a trap and as soon as they are in Glendale. Stab in the back.

Fourth: Where are Alice and the UST in all this story? I know they have not left yet. I would like her to have some parts in the story as well, and probably get into some sort of relationship.
Heck (Pardon for the language) other characters such as Anglerfish, the rest of Oorai, Peoke, Assam, Erika, Naomi, Arisa as well have less line in this story. It would be interesting to see their POV on how all of this is developing as well.

HOT DAMN! NOW, WE'RE TALKING! I'm surprised that Maho would ever go against Shiho, but it's like Kay stated, Senshado (or, Tankery, in the case of the Americans) is supposed to help develop independence. And, Maho has just hit a mental and moral growth spurt.

I can only imagine Shiho losing it when she learns that her little toy soldiers have gone rogue.

Hmmmm... So many reasons for the girls side to be disqualified
Good to see that some of girls aren't blindly following along. Wouldn't be surprised if Shiho finds herself with a mutiny on her hands.

I am waiting for the girls to start defecting and a trail for the federation treatment of the captured crews as by your description it appears they were beaten up and withheld food and some of the girls want a rematch or have had their opinions changed

Things look are not looking too good for our guys. I just hope the rest of the story can be turned around or like what others have been saying, make it into a Tie.

Here is a suggestion, I re-read chapter 4 there are the rules stating that they can keep the prisoners and keep their tanks immobile, but what is stopping the Association from doing a night raid and busting all their guys and tanks out while also causing chaos and disruption on the federation side. Aside from of course being spotted because there is little chance of a line of tanks of not being discovered. But still night raid and busting them out.

One more thing how can a WW2 75mm gun penetrate an E 75 and an MTB? I know it supposed to be fair for everyone but how?
It was also sad to see Chi-Ha Tan, BC Freedom, Anzio, Count and Maple too leave, but they just don't have that sufficient manpower. I know You can't hook up all the girls but still, it would have been nice to see Anchovy, Marie, Oshida, Andou, Asparagus, Nishi hook up but what can you do. I just hope though Angelfish and Alice find their couples soon.

Also, all confirmed couples that I can see so far:
Maho x Edward
Kay x The recent guy she wants to meet
Naomi x Rivers
Erika x Hans
Nonna x Austin
Klara x Nikoli

However, the story is still great and hope it keeps ongoing.

Oh my. I really enjoyed reading this chapter. Perhaps a compromise can be reached. Like the Americans keep their Tankery so long as they agree to an annual match similar to the one they're in now?
