Armor Assault is a turn-based strategy game which is about tactical tank
battles between NATO and Soviets. However, this is not a wargame as each side
has only six tanks to manage. The rules are relatively simple: in each round,
orders are issued to the tanks and then the orders of both sides are performed
simultaneously. Options include movement, setting mines or fire. The latter
comes in two variants, either direct fire or opportunity fire which gets
triggered when an enemy tank moves by during the movement phase – each tank is
restricted to one type per round. The terrain plays a role because it changes
the movement costs and can provide cover.

The game comes with six tank types (can be chosen before a match) with certain
advantages and disadvantages and twelve scenarios with different victory
condition (mostly to conquer or destroy a certain target). The editor can be
used to create more maps and tanks.
