.TANK & EXPANDED TANK ARMORED COMBAT
SPI Game List
.
.Tank by SPI
.
A Tactical-level sim of armored combat from the 1930s thru the 1970s. Conflict is on a tank-to-tank level. Eight scenarios are provided. Hexes = 50 meters and game-turns from 36 seconds to 2 minutes.

The game actually came in two parts - the Basic game and the Expanded game. The Basic game was merely an introductory into wargaming. Very simplistic but very effective. Jumping into the Expanded game was where things really took off and there was encouragement to design your own scenarios.

Boxed version --- game components include : Mapsheet, 300 Counters, Scenarios and Chart card (or sheet), Die, Movement Plotting pad, Rules for "Tank" & Rules for "Expanded" version.

Magazine version : game components include : Mapsheet, 100 Counters & Basic Rules.

Two players. Ages 12 & up. SPI from 1974 --- also available in Strategy & Tactics Magazine # 44.

Design: James Dunnigan.
