Summary
One of the very first wargames on mainstream computers, Stonkers featured 3 types of units (tanks, infantry, artillery) and different terrains. Graphically poor, the map was large for the time and the AI not easy to master. Not a classic, but a watershed game nontheless. Briefly bought the word "Stonk" (artillery barrage) back into common usage.
