Opponents

**WARNING - SPOILER ALERT!**

## **K. u. K. Academy**

* In **Tanks, Torte and Waltzes**, Shamrock face The Honorable Habsburg-Lothringen Imperial and Royal Maria Anna Academy for Japanese Girls (also known as *Die Ehrenvolle Habsburg-Lothringen Kaiserliche und Königliche Maria Anna Akademie für Mädchen Japa*n, or more manageably, K. u. K. Academy for short). The school has an Austro-Hungarian theme as is commanded by a girl called Franzi. The two vice-commanders are called Sissi and Tiszi. Franzi and Sissi appear to be obsessed with each other. K. u. K. Academy operates WW1-era tanks in a paint scheme of light grey with dark grey, ochre and deep brown camouflage splodges. The school's symbol of a double-headed eagle is painted on the side of their tanks. Shannon orders the team to use their newly-learned reconnaissance tactics to scout out the K. u. K. force with the L-60s. Clare finds two tanks and Erne finds the other. Shannon is confident that the Vickers Mk. D will be able to deal with each of the opposing tanks in turn. One of the K. u. K. tanks, however, gets itself into a precarious position on a crumbling embankment and needs assistance. Unsure if her opponents are still playing, Shannon drives up next to them to ask, while Erne, Finn and Annalee amuse themselves by taking potshots at the third K. u. K. tank. On finding that the K. u. K. tank is stuck, Shannon asks Erne to talk to the tank she is shooting at and to tell it to come and help. Shannon also volunteers the Mk. D, and together they pull the stricken vehicle to safety. This effort makes all the girls hungry, and since they have paused the fighting, they decide have lunch. The rest of the match descends into an impromptu picnic and there is no clear outcome to the event.

## **Kuromorimine and Jatkosota**

* In **The Legend of Shamrock** by CrabbyCakes, Shamrock School for Girls teams up with St. Gloriana Girls' College to face a composite team comprised of Kuromorimine Girls' Academy and Jatkosota High School. Erika is in overall command of the opposing team, with Mika commanding the Jatkosota element. Darjeeling orders the Shamrock tanks to flank the Kuromorimine heavy tanks and then disrupt their formation. Shannon misunderstand and attacks from the rear, but still manages to cause some disruption. Their firepower, however, proves to be woefully inadequate against the heavy German tanks. The battle ends in victory for the St. Gloriana / Shamrock team, but all the Shamrock tanks are annihilated.

## **Bonple**

* When Shamrock School for Girls enter the First Annual Postseason Bowl, a new tournament which features in **The Legend of Shamrock** by CrabbyCakes, they face Bonple High School in the first round. Shamrock initially struggle to maintain their formation and are then lured by a decoy tank into a trap. Clare's L-60 is taken out but their newly-acquired heavy tank is able to shield the rest of the formation while they make their escape. Shamrock manage to escape and conceal their tanks in a copse, but are discovered by Bonple's tankettes. Shamrock once again break out with their flag tank (the Vicker's Mk D) flanked by the Churchill and the Crusader. While the majority of the Bonple force are attacking the Shamrock flag tank group, Erne in the L-60 spots the Bonple FT1-7, which is acting as their flag tank, and gives chase with Maigue in the Covenanter with her. Bonple reinforcements are diverted to assist their flag tank, but are unable to arrive in time. Despite valiant efforts to escape, the Bonple flag tank is unable to evade the faster Shamrock tanks and Dalua in the Covenanter fires the final shot, immobilising the FT-17 and winning the match for Shamrock.

## **Tarczay High School**

* In **The Fallen Crown** by Montysmypython, as part of a composite team with St. Gloriana's B-team, Shamrock take on Tarczay High School; an OC school by Hauptman. Tarczay have a Hungarian theme. After initially recklessly chasing their opponents, the main force under Shannon's command gets mired in a swamp. A borrowed Churchill, commanded by Clare, manages to hold off the Tarczay attacks for long enough for a Challenger, commanded by Montysmypython's OC Sarah "English Breakfast" Alexander (who is also the overall commander of the composite team) to arrive on the scene and immobilise the Tarczay flag tank. Tensions boil over between the teams after the match, but Shamrock take the aggression to be a good-natured rough-and-tumble, which they are more than happy to participate in.

## **Unknown**

* Shamrock face an unknown opponent in **More Girls! More Panzer!** by BlokeOnTheKeyboard when they take part in the High School Senshado Fall Tourney. It is not known what happens in the match, but Shamrock sadly loses. Shannon later comments: "...we would have succeeded if they didn't destroy us first, but next time we'll win!"
