I rember lining two opposing armies up across from each other and using dirt
clods, (mostly for the explosion and smoke cloud effect:) Each side got about
5 shots then the other side got to shoot. All arced fire, (more spectacular
that way:), and direct hits were the only way to take out the tanks, trucks,
or artillery pieces. We had a variant, (after about an hour if I recall
:)
where we only did the clods for the Arty pieces, and the "regular" fire was
marbles rolled, or "shot" from your lines. Kinda fun even now, if I can find a
group of kids so i have an "excuss"
:)

There was a game I saw once in a game book. The "board" was made of an old
blanket with 6 inch squares on it. The men were made of cardboard. Each side
had two cannon. Each could make one attack on the enemy, as long as it was
"manned". To make an attack, each player would fire a folded paper missle with
a rubber band. anything that was knocked over was eliminated.

Two cannons? Heh, this sounds like Chinese chess, except for the paper missile
part...
