# Tank Commander
Version 0.0.1-r0
## Introduction
**Tank Commander** is a simple table-top game where two players take turns to shoot at each other's tanks. The game is played on a hexagonal grid, and each player has a tank that can move and shoot in six directions. The simplest goal of the game is to destroy the opponent's units.
Players take turns activating a unit, performing a number of actions with it, and then ending their turn. The battle is over when the mission is complete, or a player concedes, or after 10 turns of play.
This game is still in early development. If you want to give it a try, please give feedback in the form of an issue or pull request to update or clarify rules.
I've 3D printed some models for the game, based on Epic-scale Warhammer 40k Imperial Guard models:
- Battle Tank _(TODO)_
- [Armored Personnel Carrier](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/epic-scale-mechanized-infantry-vehicle)
- [Infantry Squad](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/epic-scale-infantry-company)
