I haven't watched the show. Looks like high school drama. I'm only watching high school drama if it's Buffy. But the clips on YouTube with the tank battles are really neat. They're zipping around like race cars, drifting, all kinds of fun. The new Car Wars might give us this kind of action, but the new Car Wars is a few months away. I'm not completely sold on What A Tanker, and besides, it's best with 1-2 per side and doesn't have drifting. What would be a good set of rules for crazy tank action, 4-8 per side? |

"What a Tanker!" (TFL) and the new WoT game (GF9) might work. |

How about the GF9 game TANKS? |

Hi Andrew, Have a look at this TMP thread. Homebrew rules for GuPs by a guy called Twig. Has rules for "Tankrobatic manoeuvres". TMP link

How does a tank get on top of a building? |

I think you need a skirmish set of rules, but most are not really focused on tanks alone so some modifications may be required. This Video lists a number of skirmish rules you could consider, but unlike my videos on other scales, I do not go into any depth in their game systems. I expect you should aim for the simplest and quickest one first. There are some freeware rules in the list from memory. |

I am so glad I asked. Thanks! Any more? |

I was going to say don't forget to get your command figures and decals for the various schools, but I see that Company B say they have sold out of the figures. link |

What a Tanker is surely perfect – only tanks, no stinkin' infantry |

If I had a other player wouuld do this so fast, a dozen tanks are all you need all made to take a little white pennant on top when knocked out. Andrew look at the entire 1st episode, you will want to see the rest. Watched the series twice myself. But E1 explains the premise. |
