World War I is still raging!

Gratuitous Tank Battles is a real-time strategy/tower defense hybrid with online elements and customizable units. You can take the role of the defender or the attacker in a series of top-down explodey battles. A built-in map editor allows easy sharing of custom maps and defensive challenges with other GTB players in a similar fashion to the challenge system in GTB's sister game, Gratuitous Space Battles.

GTB takes place in an alternate reality where the 'central powers' never surrender and the 'Great War' continues for two hundred years. Soldiers still fight in the trenches of the Somme, although rifles have (mostly) become laser rifles and giant armored mechs stride across no-man's land. The two great armies continue to fight with patriotic zeal and little memory of who Franz Ferdinand was and what happened to him. One thing is certain: It will all be over by Christmas 2114.
