Helltank Destroyer

Helltank Destroyer is a science fiction board wargame published by Metagaming Concepts in 1982 as part of its MicroGame line that features combat between supertanks and other futuristic weapons systems.

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 conventional weapons.

In an effort to replace this loss, Phil Kosnett created Helltank, which was published by Metagaming in 1981.

Kosnett then created the sequel Helltank Destroyer the following year, which was published as the 22nd and last MicroGame, packaged like previous games in the series in a ziplock bag with cover art by Norman Royal.

[...] That being said, the Combat Results Table is very bloody and the small map does not give much scope for maneuver.."[2] In Issue 35 of Warning Order, Matt Irsik commented, "Not a bad game, but once again the comparisons to Ogre and GEV proved that it was good, but not great and that was the end of the series.
