Description

During his work at the Operations Research Office, the physicist George Gamow invented a simple war game to be played by analysts. The game is played with three identical boards, one for each of the players and one for a referee. The board … represents a tank battlefield by a lattice of hexagons, … some of which are hatched to represent wooded areas of low visibility. The white hexagons represent open fields, and the size of a hexagon represents the radius of action of a tank in battle. Each player starts with ten markers representing tanks at his back line, and a move consists in displacing any number of tanks into any of the adjacent hexagons. Each player sees his board only and must infer from the play where his opponent s tanks are located. (from the rules) Get the full game: https://grognard.com/download/games/board/tankgame.pdf
