description What a Tanker! Overview
What a Tanker! is a World War II miniature wargame designed by TooFatLardies that focuses entirely on commanding individual armored vehicles. Distinct from squad-based infantry games, players each control one or more tanks, using a unique command dice mechanic to allocate actions like moving, aiming, and firing. The game is scale-agnostic, allowing players to use miniatures from 15mm to 28mm, and factors in vehicle size, armor, and crew experience.
It caters to players interested in detailed tank combat and model collecting without complex record-keeping.
