MBT (1989)

About this game

(from the Box:) MBT is a detailed look at the organization, equipment and capabilities of some of today's most powerful and advanced military forces. Included are the latest American, West German and Soviet vehicles, their accompanying infantry and attached weapons, and the supporting artillery, air and helicopter elements that compose modern "combined arms" forces. It's all here, and YOU are in command! MBT is a turn based, hex and counter tactical game of "modern" tank warfare. Each turn is 1-5 minutes, each hex 100 meters. Unit counters are single vehicles or infantry squads/teams. 436 counters (2 of which are blanks)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.8/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
