Ways A Spearman Could Beat a Tank!

Undertaker798 · Oct 29, 2005

Spearman vs Tank, the comical incident of an ancient unit vs a modern unit.
It has boggled the world!
Whats your take on this? Do you think its funny? Do you think it is rubbish? Do you not even give a Mongol horde?

If you like the idea of a spearman beating a tank, please post a way that a spearman could beat a tank! Make it as historic or has barmy has you like!

This may be a little of topic but its a bit of fun!!

One Way: The spearman could sneak up on the tank, slip inside and murder all the people inside!

Edit: REAL bad description of thread.

The tank runs over said spearman, but the spear gets jammed inside the tanks bottom, thus rendering it useless!

Imagine the spearmen seeing the tank coming and digging a large hole resemling a dinosaur footprint. When the tank crew see it, they panic, hurrying to leave the tank and run off as quickly as possible.

Spearman throws his spear into the barrel, which skewers all crew inside redndering the tank helpless!

At night, spearman sneak in and loosen the tanks major parts, the next day the tank rolls up to the spearman, the spearman lightly taps the tank and it falls apart, sending the driver fleeing.

Spearman places Acme tank seed on spot X along a cavern pass highway. Spot X is on the 'down' side of a small seesaw so that when the seed is consumed the seesaw will tilt, pulling a rope connected to a small rock atop the cavern. When the small rock is jarred loose it will release a large boulder, which has been coordinated to land on spot X and smash the tank completely flat.

Note: Should the seesaw fail to trigger the small rock, spearman shall 'debug' the device by pulling on the rope while standing on spot X. Likewise, should the small rock's absence fail to release the large boulder, spearman shall shove, kick or wrestle the large boulder until it is freed.

In forested terrain spearman falls large tree onto tank.

The spearmen, upon seeing the tank, send a smoke signal and hereby call upon help from a gunship not too far away, which comes to their aid, destroying the tank while the spearmen look on, cheering and dancing a crazy dance (which might in itself have been enough to scare off the tank crew..).

It's pretty simple actually, dig a big ditch. Wait for the tank to get stuck, and starve 'em out.

As long as there's no reinforcements they're gonna have to get eventually.

The spearman becomes a professional suicide bomber, i shall say no more.

the spearmen isnt REALLY a spearmen that spear is a high tech rpg in disguise...

The spearmen stink to high heaven.Since they have invested all there research into adavanced speardesign and aerodynamics no one has bothered to invent the bath or RightGuard.

A gGuy in the tank fires his pistol at the Spearman. The Spearman then whacks the bullet with his spear like a baseball, sending it flying into the air. The bullet travels all the way to heaven, where it strikes God, making him flinch. Without God to mantain it for that brief instant, the fabric of spacetime unravels at the precise location of a single ovum within a woman named Lydia. That child is, therefore, never born. Coincidentally, this same child would have grown up into the man who should have fired that pistol of destiny. Instead, he is replaced by an incompetent fool named Ed. Ed attempts to throw a grenade at the spearman instead, but a well-aimed spear makes him drop it. A clever crewman quickly throws it back and kills the spearman. However, this creates a temporal paradox, and time is on the verge of annihilation. God, so as to remedy this, pulls out a few stitches, and suddenly it is as though that Tank never existed.

Does anyone beside me have a realistic answer? :rolleyes:

Like I said, it can be done, if you can get a tank stuck and prevent reinforcements, taking out a tank isn't that hard.

Stand there menacingly. The tank crew will die of laughter.

I said it could be as wacky as you'd like! :crazyeye:

The spearman throws Spamtaro at the tank, the tank falls apart and the Spamtaro eats all the people inside.

A mountain road is undercut so when tank rolls over trap, road collapses and tank rolls off the mountain.

the spearmen merly hafe to... ASSIMLATE THE TANK! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

Xeos · Oct 30, 2005

Well, seeing as how the only way I could actually see a spearman beating a tank would be in a defended city, I would rationalize it something like this:

The spearmen lie hidden in ambush somewhere, come out, and use their numbers, strength and tools to try to force their way into the tanks somehow.

Alternately, they stole a cache of landmines(or some other explosive) from the enemy camp(stack/area of units) and used those.
