…Or should that be Saggering? We had 3 games of What a Tanker, using my Arab-Israeli variant, and had a lot of fun! The write up is on my blog at this link
Enjoy! |

I don't know. I stopped looking in the mirror years ago. |

Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing your battle report. |

Cheers Thresher01! What a tanker is now our 'go to' game when we cannot decide on anything else, and as such has to a degree replaced WW1 Wings of Glory!!! |

Sounds like a good option for quick games. Hope to try it out myself one day. How do your ATGM rules work, and are there mods for:
- firing with cannons and MGs at the missile controller to distract/kill him,
- dodging the missiles through movement, and/or
- using smoke dischargers to obscure the target? |

Hi Thresher, My ATGM rules make it hard to load (2 reload command dice) You need an aim and fire to start it in one activation, and another Aim in your next activation, where you have to hit like a normal round.
What a Tanker is abstract, If the target tank has its activation after the ATGM's firing activation, or gets its activation before the ATGM's in the following turn, it can fire at the BMP if it has acquired and aimed, as per the normal rules, or it can move out of sight behind something to avoid the missile.
The chance of the BMP getting an Aim in both turns, and of hitting, is not great, really. The Strike value against Armour roll covers things like a sudden move by the tank, Machine gun fire at the ATGM operator, or smoke discharges, at least to me!
I find it fun and quite exciting firing ATGM's in 'Tanker', So far in our games, we have fired 5 missiles, and got 2 hits, which were kills. |

Just to let you know, a slightly updated version of AI Tanker is available on our website now, with slightly improved stats for the American tanks at this link Incidentally, I was asked about the Indo-Pakistan wars, and have a version of AI Tanker for that. If you want a copy, please just E-Mail me at richardbradley5@gmail.com. |
