Calling all treadheads.  If you love all thinks tanks – Battlefront has something you really should see:

Tanks WWII Skirmish Game
TANKS is an easy-to-learn, quick-play, small-scale game, where you take command of a tank platoon, seeking to destroy your opponent’s tanks and secure victory. TANKS is a flexible game with lots of ways to create a finely-tuned army that fits your play style. The game is fast and furious, do-or-die. In half an hour, you can pick your tanks and crew, upgrade them to your specifications, defeat your enemy (or die trying), and be ready for the rematch!

Through the pouring rain, you can just make out the smoke billowing from your platoon commander’s tank. You are next in command. As if on cue, the radio buzzes. Corporal Stevens, always the cautious one, wants to retreat and regroup. But you know this is your time to strike. The enemy thinks they’ve got you on the run, got you cornered. It’s time to show them what happens when you poke at the hornet’s nest.

This is an interesting game from Battlefront. You have here almost a “gateway drug” product – leading new players into the larger world of Battlefont 15mm historical gaming.  Tanks is a 30-minute game played on a 3×3 foot table with plastic 15mm WW2 tanks.  The rules are free and the starter box is $24.99.  I would imagine that after collecting a platoon or two, you and your mates might have aspirations for something a little larger and more complex.  Battlefront may be able to help you with that…
