Quick Reference Sheet.
Order of Play.
Phase One: Determine who has the initiative
Each player rolls a D6. This will determine the
order in which players activate their tanks.
Phase Two: Activations
Players now each take their turn in accordance
with the initiative sequence until all tanks have
been activated.
Phase Three: End of Turn
Once all players have activated the turn ends.
Phase 2. Activation.
Command Dice. (Roll 6 Dice to start with, but
Command Dice may be reduced either Temporarily or
Permanently due to damage to tank or crew.)
DRIVE. Each Drive Die allows you to:-
1. Move Forward 2D6 inches. *
2. Reverse 1D6 inches. *
3. Turn on the spot up to 90o – using
one of your 2D6 from 1 above.
4. Turn on the spot 91o to 180o.
5. Rotate Turret up to 60o if stationary.†
6. Cross a Minor Obstacle. ‡
* May turn up to 90o if moving & rotate
turret up to 60o if moving for free.
† Slow Turrets may only rotate 1 X 60o per activation.
‡ Major Obstacles require Two Drive Dice to cross.
ACQUISITION. Each Acquisition Die is used
to try and acquire a target.
Must be able to see target, 60o forward arc from
turret (or front of tank if no turret) if ‘Buttoned’, 180o
if Unbuttoned.
Target in Open, is acquired Automatically by an
Unbuttoned Tank.
Target in Open, is acquired using 1 Acquisition Die by
a Buttoned Tank.
For each Minor Obstacle intervening, 1 additional
Acquisition Die will be needed.
For each Major Obstacle intervening, 2 additional
Acquisition Dice will be needed.
Target is Low Profile, +1 additional Acquisition Die.
Partially obscured = Minor obstacle.
Largely obscured = Major obstacle.
Phase 1. Initiative.
The players each roll a single D6 for each tank to
determine the sequence of play in the current
turn. The dice roll is adjusted as follows:
+1 if player’s tank has ‘Ace’ status
+1 if player’s tank has ‘banked’ a ‘Wild
Card’ in the tanks previous turn (+1 for each
die banked).
Draws are re-rolled.
AIM. Aiming can only take place
when the target has been Acquired.
Arc of Aim :- Target must be within 60o arc of
turret (or front of tank without a turret). If not,
turret or tank must move before aiming.
One Aim Die is needed to Aim.
Any number of Additional Aim Dice may be
used to add +1 to firers roll to hit target.
N.B. Aim is lost if either tank moves.
Unloaded tanks may aim but must load before
they can fire.

Tanks start the game Loaded.
Tanks with Rapid Fire Guns do not need to
reload between each shot in a single activation,
but must reload before firing in a subsequent
activation.
WILD DICE. Each Wild Die may be :-
1) Changed to any other Command Die.
2) Banked to give +1 to Initiative Die Rolls

firing process.
5) Recover a Command Die lost to Temporary
