Unpub Preview: Armor: Tactics!

As we move towards upcoming Unpub events we’re going to preview some of the games which will be exhibited.

Matt Puccio's Armor: Tactics! isn't the first game with an exclamation point in the title. It's not event the first games with tanks and an exclamation point. What it is, however, is a neat little game with miniature tanks. It's going to be exhibited at the Enchanted Grounds Unpub Mini on Saturday April 6 from 1pm to 7pm. 

Some of the ideas driving this design are very laudable. Let's hear Matt talk about them...
