Helltank

Helltank is a science fiction board wargame published by Metagaming Concepts in 1981 as part of its MicroGame line.

The map depicts a city, wooded hills, a canal, and a highway, and the players select a scenario and a time period.

[1] Metagaming's very first entry in their MicroGame line was Ogre, a science fiction wargame between a large semi-intelligent tank and more numerous but less powerful foes that was designed by Steve Jackson.

In an effort to replace this loss, Phil Kosnett designed Helltank, which was published by Metagaming in 1981 as the 19th MicroGame, packaged like previous games in the series in a ziplock bag.

"[2] In Issue 35 of Warning Order, Matt Irsik commented, "Helltank is not a bad game, but if you had Ogre, what was the point in spending time on this?
