I am looking for a light rule set for tank vs tank, including PTO if possible.

Thanks,

Jaems

Mein Panzer is modular so allows you to leave out certain sections. Going just tank on tank it would play pretty quick. The data is sold separate from the rules but (1) The WW2 data is set is amazingly comprehensive (Brazil, China, Mexico!). You can add data later for SCW, Korea, etc.

I have set of rules that might fit your requirements. PM me and I can send you a copy of them.

Tigers and Stalins. Designed for quick convention / introductory play. 1:1 scale with tanks, "units" of Infantry. Available from me, $6 USD each, 2/$10. Free shipping ConUS. Look them up here on TMP, I've sold a few copies.

No PTO I'm afraid though…..

My brother, my nephew and I play World of Tanks online. Silly game, but a lot of fun particularly if you are on skype making snarky comments while you play. I have thought that a miniatures game that worked like that would make a great con game. It would need to be a pretty quick and dirty set of tank rules. Big Ian, would your rules work for something like that?

Big Ian03 Dec 2014 8:18 a.m. PST

My rules are based on playing World of Tanks!

I am having trouble with attachments on my blog, but I have managed to paste the rules on there. I will sort a drop box out for those that would like a PDF version.

Enjoy!

Big Ian, I would love a copy of your rules, but I can't PM you because you have a basic membership.
I have an old email address I keep for this kind of thing.

PTO????

Regardless, I will second Fireball Forward as a great set of easy, yet captures the feel of what we think tank combat should be.

Bill McHarg I have emailed you.

Big Ian, thanks, I got it. Those look like a lot of fun.

PTO

PTO=Pacific Theater of Operation.

2HW Hell has no Fury is our tank on tank standby set at the moment for smaller engagements. Chain of Command have a big battle pdf version for tank platoon battles.

Was there much Tank vs Tank in the PTO?

UshCha04 Dec 2014 12:11 a.m. PST

You could use Maneoiuver Group. Tank only it would be simple and you could (steels himself for the horror of it) ommitt the command and control. We have no lists for PTO but the rules are designed to allow you to write the vehicle specs yourself on the basis of the actual tank data, so they never have needed them.

Yup, Tigers & Stalins. Great set of rules, easy to learn and play. Nothing more to it.

blueboybythesea04 Dec 2014 1:51 p.m. PST

Thank for information.

I know in the Philippines in 1942 there was small tank vs tank actions. Not sure how much in China and in the Island hopping.

Gotta plug my friend, Don Bailey's rules that are posted on Paper Tiger Armaments:

Uses quite an interesting dice activation / shooting mechanic, which I quite enjoyed.

Pazertruppe by LMW publishers is very good tank on tank. It is available via Amazon.
