Okay. What is this game and how is it played? I need to know.

We used to be a lot more complicated than that. We'd draw X's around the paper for mines and sometimes a river in the middle with bridges across it. Your tank didn't explode if you hit the river but you got stalled there until you would back up and cross the bridge. Hitting a mine was the death of the tank. At one point I was thinking about making a book of Tank maps to sell but then video games took over.

I say still do it! I think pen and paper games will make a comeback.
