Node Wars was born out of a concept I picked up from Drag Race, using pyramids to give directions to pyramids but I wanted to go 3D and so DogFight was born. Playing with my new treehouse set I accidently got a medium stuck inside a large & TubeTanks was the result. I needed a goal and so out of necessity I developed CoverFire.
TrackAngel is an atempt to develop the game into a complete the suit covering Land, Sea and Air.

One on One Campaign[edit | edit source]


A one on one campaign basically consists of a DogFight then a TubeTanks and then finally a CoverFire.This represents a player gaing air superiority to provide access to the tunnels and then defeating the tunnels defences to gain access to enemy territory and finally defeating the enemy's groundforces. Either Play :-

  • Two out of three wins or...
  • Play up and down the Node...
    • If you win a DogFight you proceed to TubeTanks in an opponent's tube.
    • If you lose the subsequent TubeTanks you go back to DogFight and if you lose that then your opponent gains access to your tunnel and you play defensive TubeTanks.
    • The same applies if you are defeated in a territory CoverFire. You go back to the tunnels.



It's a constant running battle.

Multiple Player Campaign[edit | edit source]


If you have two+ players things could get very interesting for example:-

Simultaneous Three Payer Head to Head.[edit | edit source]

  • Each Player Plays two games of DogFight simultaneously against the other two players.
  • Imagine this player defeats one opponent but loses to the other.
    • This player will now be playing TubeTanks defensively in 'one' of his own tunnels while offensively in one of his opponents tunnels.
    • The player could then end up defending his tunnel and challenging that player to a DogFight while trying to fight off CoverFire in his own territory.
  • Results:-
    • Player Loses Territory, Losing Player is out of the game and winning player has gained new territory, which they have to defend against remaining opponent.
    • Player Loses One Territory but wins another, player moves to new territory and has to defend it.
    • Player defeats both opponents eventually and owns all three territories.



Multiplayer Campaigns[edit | edit source]

It is possible to play much larger game scenarios either through a series of knock out challenges or by expanding game play areas. It is hoped that the system is flexible enough to allow a range of scenarios to be played out e.g.

  • Three or more Players DogFight in a 6x6 Node, use a small additional pyramid to indicate levels 4,5 & 6.
  • Two or More Players might wish to battle with more than one TubeTank each, perhaps battling over a chessboard.(removal of opponents tanks as a victory condition).
  • Under consideration is, all three game systems playing simultaneously in one SuperNodeWar, so that you would have infantry and tanks on the ground while air support is provided from above.
