What A Tanker!

About this board game

What A Tanker! is a World War II tank-combat miniatures wargame for 1–12 players, with games lasting around 180 minutes. Each player commands one to a few tanks and enters battle in a system where dice give the crew variable options for maneuvering and engaging the enemy.

On your turn, the dice shape what your crew can do, creating changing choices as the battle unfolds. The rules cover tanks and equipment from multiple nations, allowing players to explore armored combat across a broad selection of World War II forces.

The 72-page rules include scenarios and full lists for seven nations:

• France
• Germany
• Great Britain
• Italy
• Japan
• The Soviet Union
• The United States

For players who want an ongoing experience, What A Tanker! includes a campaign system focused on crew development. Your tank crew can progress through a career, aiming for the elusive Ace status while moving through a series of iconic World War II tanks.

Designed for battles involving anywhere from one to twelve players, the game supports both individual engagements and longer campaigns. With variable dice-driven options, national equipment lists, scenarios, and career progression, it combines miniature tank battles with the continuing story of a crew on the road to becoming an Ace.
