I plan on attending and will bring WHAT A TANKER!

If anyone is interested in playing then bring a few of your favorite WWII FoW tanks and some dice. Its a great skirmish tank game.

I will bring copies of both TANKS! games - WWII and "The Modern Age" but I will not be running those games.

If someone else wants to run/play TANKS!, then either:

1) schedule it before Game Day, or

2) On Game Day, borrow the game, recruit a fellow tanker and a table during, and shoot away!.
