Overview

What A Tanker! is a miniatures wargame of World War II tank combat for 2 to many players. Each player takes command of between one and a few tanks and enters battle. On your turn, dice provide your crew with variable options to maneuver and engage the enemy.

Rules for tanks and equipment of multiple nations are included and games can be played as part of a campaign with rules for your crew's 'career' progression.

The rules are 72 pages in total, including scenarios and full lists for France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union and the United States. The great campaign system allows you to progress your tank crew to the illusive Ace status and through a series of iconic tanks of WWII.
