What? You took Chris Crawford's Tanktics video game from approx. 1978 and made this? xD. I don't know why but it really looks like it at first sight, i mean the printed map back then, that came with the game, really looks a bit like in your tanktics-game.

A little bit only :-D. The game from 1976 itself is text-only, no animation moving over a map, the game was played with just text commands and a printed map to track locations. You got the inspiration from Crawford's original Tanktics -...a bit maybe :-D

Yes funny story. I came up with the game as a mixture of World of Tanks and XCOM. First it had a different name, when the team was complete we looked for a name. First it was called Tankticle, but that was too similar to other words. So we decided to call it Tanktics. A little later I searched for Tanktics on google for fun and found a really bad game with that name, but also the very old Tanktics by Chris Crawford and was very surprised that we somehow managed to build a very similar game.

Somehow everything was already there. I still hope that we made a pretty good game.
