We had three very enjoyable back to back games of What a Tanker! at the club this evening, with a bit of head scratching to start with but some fast paced action from game number two onwards. In the first clash, two Mark IV's clashed with two T34/76, ending in a draw and a stalemate, with one Soviet and one German tank destroyed. The second game was a rematch with two Panthers against an SU-100 and a T34/85, which ended with both of the Panthers brewed up for no loss. The final game was a three on one with a Jagdpanther versus three Lend Lease Shermans, producing the biggest surprise of the evening when the first shot from one of the Sherman M4A2(76) penetrated the side armour and blew up the big cat before it even had a chance to fire back. Ka Boom!
Great looking game- sounds like you had fun with them. The last one sounds like it was over rather quickly.
ReplyDeleteI quite fancy doing the 3 jagdpanthers versus 9 Churchills clash from Normandy.
Cheers,

I need your tutorial on the smoke/flames.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a challenge!
ReplyDeleteThe on fire things are resin from eBay.
ReplyDeleteIts a great game isn't it. You often find a 1:3 tank engagement favours the 3, as they can get round the flanks of the one.
ReplyDeleteNice models and terrain!
Yes, I really like the dice pool system, which makes for some good gameplay and tactical decision making.
