HOST:  Chris Bell
RULES:  TANKS: THE SKIRMISH GAME - MODIFIED
SCALE:  15mm
PLAYER SLOTS:  2 - 6
SCENARIO:
I read the players gripes about the rules and agreed with them.  So I kept the opposed dice rolling, the Tank damage  and initiative, CRITICAL DAMAGE CARDS, and modified everything else - as gamers have done thru history. I used my DESERT WAR rules for hitting and my penetration at different ranges for the attack vs defense number of dice to roll off. So the GUNS are not
 lumped together.
