A [[Macintosh]] multiplayer game by Stuart Cheshire, prototyped in 1987 for the [[BBC Micro]], recently ported to [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[UNIX|Linux]], distributed as [[Shareware]]. It is an [[Shoot
Each player controls a tank. The game maps include "bases" and "pillboxes"; bases are used to refill a tank's armor (that is, [[Hit Points]]), ammunition, and mines. Pillboxes are stationary artillery installments that shoot at enemy tanks. Both bases and pillboxes are owned by a player or team; in order to capture them, the enemy must shoot them to reduce their hit points to zero. Unlike bases, captured pillboxes can be collected by a player and then installed in a different place.
Line 11:
There's no fixed objective to the game, but generally players will form into teams that fight for control of the bases and pillboxes.
