It was just voted the 2018 ruleset of the year by Wargames Illustrated (pretty cool).

And I've got a TTS set for it.

We've talked a fair amount off-line about the idea of setting up something like "Saturday Night Fights", i.e., open up a lobby, including chat, have the Dragoons come by and play, and stream the whole mess to the public.  This is definitely something I want to do when my Teugen-Hausen set is ready, for example.

I was very surprised at the number of people who at least checked out Doug and my own play of WDS Panzer Battles: NA '41.

So, conceptually, how many here would be up for a game of "What A Tanker" in TTS.  I've got a good scenario and table that could handle as many as six and I'd be happy to teach and umpire.  It's a fun, fast-playing system and we could probably get two games in.

Let me know?

I added it in the workshop, but did not see any tanks. Was hoping to see a KV2!  :ROFL:

Note to self from tonight's game:  Do not let the T-34 get BEHIND you.

Vance will not graciously allow you to turn around before shooting.

That's my excuse for last night. By the time I was done with in-law Christmas, it was all I could do to make it upstairs to go to sleep. Next time...

If your like me, you crawl into bed and then cannot get sleep for 1+ hours.
