We had a game of 'What a Tanker'at the club today, and as ever had a lot of fun! The write up is on my blog at this link
Enjoy! |

So Herky this is going to sound like a dumb question but what is "what a tanker?" I know it is skirmish but is it more like an X-wing game with tanks? Or is it more of a role play with tanks? Thanks. |

What a Tanker is a new-ish game from the Too Fat Lardies stable. You run a tank – or 2, by rolling 6 command dice which give you some options on how your tank will act in its activation, it allows you to imagine how your crew is acting (EG is the gunner able to see the tank you can see from on high through his little periscope)- as such it is very different from X-Wing. It definitely has some role playing elements in it. |

Nice report HB, and loved those special effects! :) |

Thanks FlyXwire! – I put the effects on to show how I am seeing the action in my head during the game – something that 'What a Tanker' is very good at generating!!! |

Anywhere I can read a review of "What A Tanker"? I've seen a few AARs, but no actual description other than that on the publisher's site. |

Check out Beasts of War where they do a full "Let's Play" of What a Tanker plus TFL's You Tube channel where they demo a game in full link YouTube link QTK |
