Play Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks! Online

Game Overview

If you ever wanted to command a tank platoon without the mud and shell shock, Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks! is your time machine. It’s all about clanking metal beasts from WWI trenches to Cold War showdowns—you’ll shuffle Panzers through snow or send M1 Abrams charging across deserts. The scenarios are solid (Ever tried holding a bridge with just two Shermans? It’s as desperate as it sounds), but the real magic’s in the editor. Want to pit 1940s French tanks against 1980s Soviets in a jungle? Go nuts.

Yeah, the AI sometimes acts like it’s got a loose track—don’t expect modern refinements. But tweaking terrain, objectives, and unit rosters gives this old MS-DOS gem a weirdly endless lifespan. Perfect for when you’re craving that specific itch: the crunch of treads, the pixelated smoke of a direct hit, and the slow burn of outmaneuvering someone who probably read the same tank manuals as you.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
