It's completely unrealistic but stupidly easy and fun to play (especially with beer)

It also makes me think of this vid from War Thunder for some reason.

I've got a set of the Tanks German dice (for use in Nightfighter Ace/Interceptor Ace, and other such games) and a set of Tanks Soviet dice (for Pavlov's House). Great dice!

Stillman's stuff has been out for a bit.  Honestly, was hoping to lure Darwin to the table with their modern game which Stillman is working on.

Figured y'all would find the system banal.

This is one where I'm not afraid to say we could get two game in a session.  Crazy light, but seems fun.

You wanna tank?

WE TANK!!!

OF course my PC up and died on me two days ago.  Getting a replacement tomorrow.  Dunno if I'll have it up and running by Saturday afternoon but I hope so.

Man, I hate setting up a new PC....

Well, you had best...

After all, what's better than Barkmann's Corner at Barkmann's Corner?

This is the road North to Le Lorey so Barkmann was coming at the camera.

I might try to play, if I can get my laptop to run TTS.  Y'all laugh, but how many of you are getting by just fine w/ a 10-year-old computer! :D

Still setting up the new PC.  I think I should be good to go for tomorrow.  Having some issues getting the mic to work properly (and I can't find my old config files for TTS with my key bindings)

You don't need it to play in a game hosted by someone else.

7 CDT, 8 EDT... I guess that’s 5 PDT.

Nobody knows what the prize is cause nobody’s done it yet!  :D

So it turns out I actually do have a steam account.  I'm trying to get a tabletop stimulator working right now, but I need a steam update since it's been forever but I even launched the application.

Certainly lessons learned about having folks come with their troops pre-sorted!

I've been thinking a LOT about whether I like it or WAT! better.  Ultimately probably a false choice.  They're very different games and do a nice job of being the sole inhabitants of the "light tank skirmish" genre.

It was a fun game last night, once it got started 😁

Totally would play again, but with a different terrain layout

Turns out Mr. Big Shot Tank Guy is just a very poor shopper.  From a YouTube comment:


The Priest is a good unit. There 2 ways to make it work great. One is add a American crew member Carlos Hayden which ignores Impassable terrain and then attach Observers to other Tanks allowing the Priest to draw LoS from them.
