    Here, have a crack at this one. Free pint to the first person to post all the answers.

    I recommend printing it out before attempting to use a marker to fill in the boxes.

    ETA: With respect to 13 Down I guess I should add I put this together a couple of years ago.

    I'm useless at crosswords for some reason :o

    25 down:
    Up?
    17 down:
    Merkava?
    10 down:
    LeClerc?
    2 down:
    Anti tank missiles? (It doesn't fit!)

    23 across:
    Swim?
    5 down:
    Miss?

    No idea overall.

    Some right, some wrong.

    I'm honestly surprised that nobody has completed it yet.

    There's no time limit on the collection of the pint.

    Only got one for sure

    17 across =
    Cadence


    Think 1 across might be
    ArtilleryPiece
    because the clue is (if my german doesn't fail me), I can't see it, but I can shoot it.

    Is anything ever 'for sure' before you get the intersecting words?

    I have to say, I'm rather disappointed in you all.

    I was expecting it to be done in the first 12 hours. Does nobody do Crossaire any more?
