Tanks - Pershing Unboxing

I didn't just pick up the Tanks box, I got a couple of extra tanks to go with it.  The first one is the Pershing.

The pershing kit makes either a regular pershing or a super pershing.  You can't however make both turrets, because they use the same turret components.

The box insert has the instructions on the back.

Tanks unboxing

Picked this up on a whim at my local games shop (Hadrian's Hobbies) today.  Tanks is by Galeforce Nine and is effectively a world war 2 version of X-Wing.  And it's bloody cheap too, I picked this up for £18 and it's quite a weighty box.

Let's look inside.

Time to sort this out

You get these greeny/browny sprues that build the panther/jagdpanther

These brown sprues each build a sherman

you get some dice

A stack of cards

just over half of which are upgrades

the rest are critical damage cards

You also get some bigger cards with tank stats on them.  You even get a bunch cards for tanks that aren't in the box, this is to allow you to use your Flames of War tanks.  Also the cards have a plastic coating on them you can mark damage with a dry erase markers.

the rule book isn't very thick, but is made out of a very sturdy paper.  Also it looks like I've been photobombed by a shoggoth.

A small brick of cardboard.

The brick contains a big wood

Let's just pop that out.  That wood is huge by the way.

A smaller wood and a bunch of tokens.

Some more tokens and some buildings.

Lets look at the tanks.

You get a pair of shermans.  You also get enough parts to put both the 75mm and 76mm guns on them.

The panther actually comes with a hull for the jagdpanther that you can swap out.  However I'm a numpty and glued the hull to the tracks.


Now onwards to learn the rules.
