I read a while ago about a s silly con game where each team was a tank crew, a commander, a driver, a gunner and loader. The driver could only move the tank, the gunner could only turn the turret, the loader had to stuff a tennis ball into a tube.

It was a double blind table so you couldn't see the other tank or its crew.

Ring any bells?

IIRC it was a Wargames Research (CoW?) event in the 90's

Iirc that was Jim Wallmans Tank Duel game. We last played it in lockdown a couple of years ago. I think the rules are still on his website.

There's a vaguely similar dueling submarines game. (Got to play it once with 8 people, it was a hoot.)

Found it: link

Lloyd references and link's Jim Wallman's Tank Duel, but the link is invalid. I poked around Jim's site and it's here:
