Yes, today we used Churchill tanks in our WW2 games using 'What a Tanker', and they are very different to our usual Shermans and Cromwells…no kidding! If you want to see how the day went, please go to this link
Enjoy! |

I need to look into What a Tanker next convention |

Its a fun game, it gives the feel of running a tank in many ways, and you don't have a major outlay to start playing! |

Good AAR, Herk, and how much new underwear did you need to buy for your crew? Bouncing 75's is one thing, mate, but shrugging off 88's? Did your crew even get a shot off? It reads as if you had a lot of fun (even if your crew didn't), which is what counts. |

Hi Dal Gavan, I think my crew were out of it for about the last 3 turns as that 88 bounce took me from 6 to 4 command dice, and it was only on the last turn I rolled a 6 to get a command die back. All game I got 3 shots off, at the panther to my front, which all missed! |

I don't know the system, mate, but from what you say the crew were a tad befuddled. I can't imagine why?  Your AAR has persuaded me to get off me bum and have a look for the rules. All game I got 3 shots off, at the panther to my front, which all missed! That's called "The Wargamer's Lament", isn't it? I know how you feel. |
