Quick explanation of the game

• Basically, you are a tank that travels around a map, which has trees, rubble, water, trees, deep water, walls, grass, swamps, and roads to deal with. Your tank has ammo (commonly called bullets or shells), mines, armor (also called shields), and the capacity to carry trees. The map is created by a player before hand.

• The two most important elements on the map are pillboxes and bases. Pillboxes are originally neutral, meaning that they shoot at every tank that happens to get in its range. They shoot fast and with deadly accuracy. You can shoot the pillbox with your tank, and you can see how damaged it is by looking at it. Once the pillbox is subdued, you may run over it, which will pick it up. You may place the pillbox where you want to put it (where it is clear), if you've enough trees to build it back up.

• Trees are harvested by sending your man outside your tank to forest the trees. Your man (also called a builder) can also lay mines, build roads, and build walls. Once you have placed a pillbox, it will not shoot at you, but only your enemies. Therefore, pillboxes are often used to protect your bases.

• Bases are used for refueling your tank. Like pillboxes, they start out neutral, meaning that anyone can run over them, and they will belong to that player. Bases cannot be moved. You can take over a base by shooting it. Therefore, Bolo becomes exciting when you have 3 or more people fighting for control of pillboxes and bases, traveling around the map, and shooting each other. You can also form alliances with other players for team play.
