Hmmm, last post on here as 23 April. Wonder how many I can make come here and look to see the new post???

Eriisa: LOL - not me...

you sly sod, you!!!!! ROFLMAO

Eriisa: I surely would not fall for something like that either! How desprite do you think people are to read something new?

desprite? Do you desperatly need spelling lessons? lol

Maybe we can call this the Tank Battle new beginnings?

Now, where is everyone???

hello -o -o -o -o -o

No way I would immediately come and see what was posted, no way.

anyone up for a tank battle tourney???? I'll set one up if so.

Travelin' Tank Battle

Who will make it to the top of the hill ???

Need two more players for Travelin' Tank Battle. Who can beat Fencer?

Sign up! Times a wasting

Eriisa: Desperatly? Are you sure BBW is the only one who desperately needs spelling lessons?

Pedro Martínez: Definately.
I'm joking, Pedro!

Welcome to whatdidyousay as the new Mod of the Tank Battle board!

Let's welcome Pedro as the new co-mod.

woo hoo! Pedro!

Is there anywhere to buy this game? The board and pieces etc?

One more thing- is the Command Tank safe on any of the red squares or just in the middle-dead center?

DragonKing: I have never seen the game for sale but that does not mean it isn't ... this is one Fencer had here from the start of the site, not sure where he found it. I would expect that if you could make the board it would not be hard to fnd markers which might be used, could be checkers with a double stack for the Commander or "King" tank for instance.

WRT to the pink square, only the Commander can land or pass through them and they are all safe (that is one Commander cannot take another Commander there).

Hope you enjoy the game.

WQ :)

WhisperzQ: Thank you.Ii have been considering how to make a board- Imight be able to find toy tanks-small ones to use as my pieces.

DragonKing: Yes, there are lots of "War Gaming" pieces around, my son plays Warhammer which he got from Games Workshop and I am sure there are some pieces there taht could be used.

WhisperzQ: The thing is- I cant make the board untili have enough tanks to make the size of the sqaures proportional. And i would need 28 tanks- if there are the same color I can always paint half- mark the Command Tank with a flag orsomething....

DragonKing: Alas, another variation of the chicken and the egg :)

Would someone answer a question for me? In my current game 3291170- why do I have the points I have? Other than the tanks I have captured- how else do I score?

DragonKing: You don't score for the tanks you capture. You score for the tanks you have - with bonus points if they are in the enemy starting area.

Since you have 9 tanks, none of them in your opponents starting area, you have 9 points. Your opponent has 11 tanks, none of them in your starting area, and hence your opponent has 11 points.

And next time, please make your game number a link.

AbigailII: Thanks for the answer- how do I make my game a link?

DragonKing: Just copy the address bar of the page you want the link of and paste it in your message

3291170 like this? I just copied the the game ID from main page of my game- and it doesn't appear to be a link....

DragonKing: bring up the game and then right click with your curser over the address bar, a pop up window will appear and one of the options will be "copy" left click that. then come back here and start up a message, right click in the message box and a menu will appear with one of the options being "paste" left click that and then your link will appear like this Tank Battle (dromedary vs. DragonKing)

Vikings: I understand how to copy and paste- but I'm not seeing what you call the address bar. I clicked on the game ID under my flag- and that didn't work. Where exactly do I click?

DragonKing: the address bar for this page should read "http;//brainking.com/en/Board?bc=19" and depending on how your computer is set up is either in your start bar, your task bar or in your menu bar

Vikings: OK i copied the top line- where the URL is in other words and I got this:
Tank Battle (dromedary vs. DragonKing) Does that make a link for everyone?

DragonKing: Ok that answers my own question- it looks different when I send it then when I go back to the room. THANK YOU>

Anyone up for a new game? I have a game in the waiting room if so....

Is this game like chess- does one resign in a hopeless position? Or does one play to the bitter end?

DragonKing: I think that any game ought to be resigned in a hopeless position. But not everyone thinks so. There are people here that will drag out a game for an extra half year, even if the outcome is known. (And I'm not talking about Tank Battle in particular).

Please sign up -> 1500 ;), 10000 :D, 1600 ;) (single elimination for 8, Fisher's clock 3/0.8/15 with autopass & immediately start)

Tank Battle - I need 3 players more
& other ames

Is it possible to offer and accept a draw if both players agree? I have looked over a recent game and both players could have reached a point where taking another tank would mean losing- so both players could just move endlessly- there appears to be a need for a rule similar to chess so a draw can be agreed upon of is automatic after so many moves with no piece taken. Any thoughts??

DragonKing: If you scroll down to the game information on the game in question, there is an "Offer Draw" link. (Next to Add a Note and Resign)

rod03801: Thank you! iIsaw that just before i saw your note....
