Hello everyone

Here is a set of PnP files for Tank Chess.

I also tweaked the STL files to add the symbol of each type of tank onto the figures themselves so that they are easier to recognize on the board.

If you like this game, buy it! The PnP set costs € 5.00 on the designers' website.

Perhaps this should go in the Wargame Section

An extra piece for the game (fan-made) - the Multiple Rocket Launch System "Katyusha". This iconic World War II weapon hardly needs an introduction on this forum.

I made the rocket set removable from the truck rail system. The initial idea was an area of effect weapon which hits everything in a 3x3 grid inflicting damage as follows:

1 2 1
2 3 2
1 2 1

The damage is enveloping - meaning the attacked units count as being hit from all sides so only their lowest armor value (usually the back) counts towards defence.

However, once fired the player needs to spend a turn to reload before the Katyusha could be fired again - to that effects the rockets are detachable.

The Katyusha was supposed to be able to shoot over obstacles but I was not sure what range I should give it. Unfortunately, I lost touch with my favourite Tank Chess opponent and never had the chance to playtest the Katyusha. Perhaps it would come in handy for someone else on the forums.

If someone does try it, please let me know your thoughts on it.
