Today we had three games of 'What a Tanker' at the club.
I always forget what fun games like this can be in the normal run of 'Sensible' games, but there you are!

The reports can be read on my blog at this link

Enjoy!

Rules: What a Tanker (TFL)
Figures Airfix, Hasegawa, Revell, etc etc!

Looks like fun.

Thank you for sharing your battle reports and photos. I always enjoy them.

Would What a Tanker work solo?
Have thought often of getting a few tanks to move into a easier solo game.

Yes, he has solo rules on his website for this, and it appears the last battle, won by the Germans, was one-sided – the German AI won, if I understood his posting correctly.

I've got some 1/144th scale armor, so hope to give it a go with them, soon.

Hopefully Historicon happens and will take a look at some armor, maybe a game too.

Thanks for all the comments! Yes, all the games were played with Phil and me using the allied side and my solo system link – its proved a formidable enemy in several games!

Very interesting, the AAR's read like it was big fun. I'm going to have to get these rules and throw down some quick fun games at the club.

There you go again, tanking outside the box.
