Tank Chess (Scripted setup + Expansion)

Description
Tank Chess is a simple 2-player abstract strategy game about tank combat.
Board Game Geek link[boardgamegeek.com]



There are 24 pre-made scenarios you can play in, and you can also make your own.

----
Abridged rules:
- On your turn, move a tank up to its speed and (you can) shoot with it.
- Most tanks shoot at range 2 and above, and can shoot in one of 3 directions (↖↑↗)
- Each tank has different stats for speed, gun, and armor.
- Armor is strongest in the front, weaker on the sides, and weakest in the back.
- The goal of the game is to destroy your opponent's Command Tank or to make yours escape on the other side of the board.

Full rules (with pictures) are included in the mod. Also, first video on this page shows nearly every rule.

----
Scripted controls have been added! Control the tank with the numpad! See video above for a preview.

---
The game was on Kickstarter (slacker backer options are available), so please consider backing!
If you want to support the game, consider the $5 Print n' Play since playing this mod is kind of like a PnP!
There's also a $10 pocket edition.

Makes ample use of MrStump's Memory Bag for set up. Consider donating to him as thanks for this awesome tool.

iirc I made these models myself. The computer that had them is broken atm so I can't retrieve the files. They were also not made for PnP, tho you can try to convert them for that maybe. Also, there's a new kickstarter coming soon for a new edition of the game so maybe they'll have a PnP tier too

Greetings. First of all I would like to thank you for porting Tank Chess to Tabletop Simulator. May I ask how you got the files to make this game? I originally wanted to get the PnP version from the official site, but it gives an error. Is there any way I can contact you to get the game as a document archive so I can print it out and play it IRL?

my friend has some tanks that don't load (small balls are displayed instead of tank models). Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

I forgot about that. I haven't gotten back to doing some TTS work in a while. I'll get to it when i can

I thought so because last update was year ago. And some things marked as WIP.

Why do you say that?

Is it abandoned?

My best guess would be trying to ask people on the game's BGG page in the forums
