I have the rules and it does look like a fun game, and the choice is yours, go down the route of historical encounters or just go mad and do stuff!
I ran a game a good few years ago at an annual liaison function. Called killing Private Ryan the aim was to drive a little radio control Dragon Models Tiger around a load of buildings and a bridge and run over an American soldier! Everything on the table was painted and the German SB lads loved it!
What a tanker! anyone?
Re: What a tanker! anyone?
What a Tanker is pretty much perfect as a light multi-player game. Lots of fun as players drive their tanks around trying to get a good shot.
We've tried late war Normandy (Hetzer + Panzer IV vs Achilles + Cromwell), Desert (M13/41 + Panzer III vs Crusader III + Matilda) and early war Russia (T28 + T34 vs Pz38T + Stug). All great fun.
I wouldn't want to play it all the time, but I've enjoyed the games I've played, and it is an excuse to get things like the T28, Elefant or Jagdtiger on the table.
