I have hundreds of wargames and I can say without reservation that TANKS is one of the best new products I've picked up in years. Everything about the set is quality. The book, the models, the dice, the 2D terrain elements, no wonder it's first run has been a sell out globally. The game plays extremely well and comes with stat cards for a variety of other tanks not included in the set, so you can expand you battles with models you may already have from games like Flames of War. The models in the set are small and extremely detailed though, you will need a full model trimming kit, sprue cutter, a craft scalpel, glue and a very steady hand.

I bought this to play with my nephews and we had a ball! It took only moments to learn and once we had built the exquisite Shermans and Panther plastic kits we were away. I expected to enjoy this, but I was surprised by how much fun it turned out to be. My nephews are hooked. This will get a lot of play in the future. Now I need to buy some more of the expansions to get more tanks and cards!

Great game. Well explained, simple rules, and easy to jump in and get going. The models go together pretty quickly and there are so many alternative bits left over, you can almost build a whole 'nother tank. Good value starter wargame.
