Review of 'Tank War' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Tank battles in this scale are kind of silly, but with that in mind this wasn't a bad take on them.

The actual rules are fairly light, simply changing things so that you can take an armored platoon instead of an infantry one as your army. The rest of the book is scenarios and a small number of new vehicles.

The historical scenarios look like they'd give you a small taste of the tactical issues of the real battles. Given the scale of the game that's the best you can really hope for, so I can't really knock them for not creating more historical set ups.

My biggest complaint, surprisingly given that this is an Osprey book, was the lack of appropriate art. A lot of the historical scenarios feature specific tanks, yet the art invariable showed something other than the tanks that were involved in the battle.
