Introduction

Because the website does not have a dedicated Downloads section, it can be hard to find (or even know about) all of the downloadable resources that the Tanks team has generously provided. After hunting after all of these resources every time I needed them or lost one, I decided I would archive them in one place for those who needed them, but didn't want to click through the many posts on the site to find them.

I'll try to update this list when new things become available. If you have suggestions (or corrections) feel free to let me know!

The Basics

Starting Rulebook
The rulebook included with the starter set, this free 23 page booklet has everything you need to know to start playing Tanks. It includes some background on the armies, tanks, and characters included in the game as well as the basic rules, several mission types, and assembly instructions for the tanks in the starter set. There is a handy quick-reference on the last page/back cover.

Boot Camp Missions
These mission rules are designed to teach the basics of Tanks. They can be played with any army, but have limitations on the forces players can take to keep things from getting too complicated. Once the players have a good grasp on the rules, they can try out the included four player mission!
