Tank Battle is a Milton Bradley board game of strategy where players attempt to out-guess and out-maneuver their opponent in a contest of armored warfare, and includes the extra strategy brought by fuel and ammunition dumps as well as anti-tank guns and mines. The playing pieces are modeled after actual World War II tanks of the Americans and Germans, these being the M4A3 Sherman Medium Tank and the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf. G.
Milton Bradley touted this game as "The game of planning and strategy".
Game play
The players take turns moving tanks across a 10x10 grid of 100 numbered rectangles, while attempting to take out the ammunition dump, the fuel depot, the headquarters, the anti-tank guns and the tanks of the opposing player. The player that destroys all the opponent's tanks without losing all of theirs wins.
