I’ve been following along, its certainly got my interest, I like tanks and I like tank games. I won’t be pre ordering it but its certainly up on my list, I’ve got a load of potential 20mm or 15mm vehicles that I’d probably use.

For the game itself it seems interesting enough to be a fun game, the obvious comparison is What a Tanker, this as expected looks to do things slightly differently and from what has been previewed I like the look of some of the mechanics, particularly the addition of the cards.  Will this replace What a Tanker for people, probably not, will people who play bolt action be more likely to pick it up, most likely. At face value it seems like another choice for gamers, which im all in favour for, not everyone likes Lardie games, in the same way not everyone likes Warlords games so I don’t have any issues with it.

In terms of the “release” at £100 RRP for the starter kit, if you have nothing its good value, 5 tanks at £20 a pop is cheaper than the generally going rate of them individually plus you get some rules and terrain to boot, even if you never play the game but you want the tanks I’d say its worth picking up. Ultimately it is mostly just a way to drive sales though, people new buy tanks, and then possibly look into bolt action, those with bolt action buy more tanks. That said the offering seems reasonably compressive out of the box(s).

That said if you already have tanks or don’t need more then its not as good of an offering, that said Warlord have strongly hinted they have heard the community feedback and a rules only option will be on the way!
