February 23, 2024 by brennon
It's OTTWeekender time! We're doing John a favour and getting very excited about all the tank-based wargaming in both 15mm and 28mm that you can currently explore on the tabletop. We'll be talking Gale Force Nine's Clash Of Steel and Achtung Panzer! from Warlord Games. However you like your tank battles, they have you sorted.
We also see a return of another favourite with Relics coming back to the tabletop from TTCombat AND the awesome indie Trench Crusade from the creator of Mordheim is available in its playtest phase. Make sure to keep an eye out for that one!

you don’t say 😉
Hi weekenders
Tanks !
So tempted
When will we see a Rainbow Warriors box set?
I’d upvote your project so dashed much if you did one.
A heavy metal-filled Weekender then 🙂
Tonks?
Love the Mad Max look to the Ork trucks and car’s
I loved the coloured GW metallic paints they had but never finished any of the pots as they died of dehydration an never replaced them I may get some of the new Duncan one’s ?!?
I’ve always enjoyed Warlord Games Tank Wars for Bolt Action. I’m looking forward to trying out Achtung Panzer
It’s the Weekender!
Happy Days to see the ‘Relics’ game coming back! I still have my original rule books.
The Fabulous Friday Foursome! Great show folks.
definitely want to see more on trench crusade.
Tanks for showing us the armoured vehicle games ?
Ben says it’s #JohnsFault also John says it’s #JohnsFault. No one in the cast is objecting so I guess it’s #JohnsFault. Do you think it’s #JohnsFault too? It’s his fault!
Ummm……I think I need a flow chart to follow that?
Only by default
Great intro Ben!
I REALLY liked this weeks show. #its all Johns fault- WWI, WWII, sinking the Titanic, etc I was playing Friday night games with friends yesterday (it’s already Saturday in Oz when the show drops) and we were all talking about how the rules of 40K isn’t doing it for any of us, and that One Page Rules is better if only because of it’s simplisity. We also agreed that Mordheim was universally seen as nostalgically perfect (until you play it today) and how good smaller scale games are. We were playing Space Fleet (the precusor to Battle Fleet Gothic) and… Read more »
Tanks are lovely at any scale
I want all the tanks now!
ok John what did you do? why no Moonstone! Vote for Ben the wee boy.
Wonder how Achtung Panzer will play compared to what a tanker.
I love tanks in wargames but I’m not a big fan of tank centric games. Prefer them as powerful supports for infantry. I just like combined arms games more.
Good show guys a lot going on.. Trench Crusade i did like the look of this dark game last time saw it… nice giveaway as well saw that box set and thought “that box would make you play Dark Angels”
Can’t help but see warlords Achtung panzer as a higher priced flashed up copy of Toofat lardies What a Tanker. I think our group will be keeping our dollarydoos for other things as we already have all the tank on tank needs tended to by the lardies game. As for clash of steel…If ww2 ended then sparked back up…How did the germans get tank production going again? Did all the previously allied nations think it was unfair that the germans miss out on the fun so they all pooled together to gift some resources and knock up some production lines… Read more »
I really enjoy my book by Toofat lardies ‘What a Tanker’. Very fun indeed!
I’ve used the video made by Ladies/OTT to introduce the game concept to others to get them to try it out. Oddly enough, I’ve had folks try it and like it but not have any desire to go deeper into so called “Better Tank games/simulators”.
Ouch! Trench Crusade is looking “wicked”. ?
finally, weekend!
