Good simple demo for someone new to all of this. Thanks for taking the time. Not convinced this game is for me but much better informed.

Thank you and you're welcome.

Good vid. Thanks. Think one on one tank games have the same issue as gladiator games. Basically you’ve got to impute lots of tactical decisions into basically a limited number of tokens moving around an arena, namely the models, when skirmish games are about coordinating lots of different tokens.

Looks like something I'd have liked when I was a little kid.

Why not as an adult?

So, this is basically Warlord's version of What a Tanker! from Too Fat Lardies?

Thanks for the play through at 15mm! I have a lot of 15mm tanks, but this game has really gotten me to prepare a number of 28mm tanks as well. I’ll be curious to see if we like one scale better than the other.

Great looking table Alex! Game not so much. I got over one on one tank gaming in 1970.

Alex - thanks for another well done and informative video. You laid out the setup, mechanics, and gameplay in your usual first rate style. You did indeed help me make a decision on this game. This is the second runthrough video of AP that I’ve seen. I didn’t make it through the first one, and thought that maybe it was the video moving slowly - not the game. But, after watching your runthrough I can see that the game is very ponderous and granular for a skirmish-level game. It just doesn’t feel intuitive from my perspective. I’m not a huge fan of What a Tanker; but, a lot of those checks & tactical actions are accounted for in the hand of dice that you roll. Plus, WaT seems much more fluid and fast-moving than AP. I have to agree with the OP - I’m definitely not getting off at this exit!!!

New to all this but getting terrain suggestions can you tell what playing mat and other terrain pieces you are using ? Thanks

The mat is from Geek Villain and the terrain is from various other manufacturers or home made.

What do you do to create those hills? Would love to do something like that with my table.

I just put socks and pants under the cloth.

15mm is better for tanks anyway. Not sure if I'd play this one. Well played out video though. Thanks.

Like the look of this game.

I think you did initiative wrong. They keep the initiative for the full turn, so all 3 rounds. The initiatives change after 3 rounds. 1 full turn is all 3 rounds of activations

A lot of die rolling and a lot of rules. I'll stick to What a Tanker.

Ah yes, What a Tanker, the game that is known for not having a lot of dice rolls and the inability to do anything some turns due to those non-dice rolls 😂

This system is just a "what a tanker" imitation. Very clunky and boring game, in my opinion. Thank you for your time showing us how this works.

What on earth was the point of that? Not convinced as a game or as a simulation.
