Tank! is a two-player tactical board wargame from Simulations Publications Inc., designed by Jim Dunnigan and first issued in 1974 as a pull-out game in the magazine Strategy and Tactics before appearing as an expanded boxed set. It covers tank against tank and tank against infantry combat from the Second World War to the middle of the twentieth century. Its counters show only generic silhouettes and its hex map is a generic colour-coded terrain map, so the scenarios define the stats. Players secretly write down an action for each unit, either move, attack or pause, then reveal them together and resolve panic, direct fire and movement. The set offered thirteen scenarios, statistics for eighteen tanks and three anti-tank guns, and magazines later published variants.
