Gameplay

Helltank is a game in which the map shows a city, wooded hills, a canal, and a highway, and players pick a scenario and a time period.[1]

Reception

W. G. Armintrout reviewed Helltank in The Space Gamer No. 49.[1] Armintrout commented that "Helltank got shortchanged somewhere in production. I do like the game, but I can recommend it only for experienced gamers who don't mind second-guessing the rules on a few vital points and who don't mind doing mental bookkeeping. Too bad - this game could have been a contender."[1]

Tony Watson reviewed Helltank in Ares Magazine #13 and commented that "Helltank isn't without its problems; the rules could have been tightened in some places and the type face used in the rules book approaches downright ugly, but it's an interesting little game, a sure winner for the asking price."[2]

gollark: The Moon, however, is *not* real.
gollark: JOEK! Obviously the earth is real and no-earthers are ridiculous.
gollark: That person is really working for the government, trying to discredit the no-planeists to cast doubt on the (correct) no-earthers.
gollark: This could probably be used for some exploit stuff, if discord's link scanning thing didn't *already* clearly mark itself using the discordbot user agent.
gollark: An interesting thing I just noticed is that the Discord client and whatever bit of Discord scans links to generate embeds handle links with . on the end slightly differently.
