The story of TANK kombat 3D

In the beginning (1918) there was a multinacional country named Hiugoslavia. It was formed as a federation of six republics. The more developed republics had to pay less developed republics money for development. For a long time everybody was pleased with that. Especially because of their great leader OTIT. Everything seemed OK, until OTIT passed away.
The leader of Sberbia (on the north - east part of Hiugoslavia) Blodosan Limosevic (pron. Bloodthirsty) wanted to take over the control of the entire Hiugoslavia. The western republics were against it. But they couldn't do anything about it. So they did the only possible thing. They decided to become more independent. First they wanted a confederation, but that wasn't enough. Complete independence was the only option. Since seizing control over the remaining Hiugoslavia was not enough for Blodosan, he got the idea of creating Big Big Sberbia. 'Wherever there are Sberbs, there is Sberbia.' was his motto. At the same time he was trying to keep Hiugoslavia together. With the aid of federal army he tried to force Svolenia (the republic on the north-west) to stay in Hiugoslavia by taking control over its borders. But the old sicret wish of Svolenians to be independent was too great. After ten days and a few dozen casualties of so called 'war' the federal army had to leave Svolenians in peace (and in one piece). Svolenia was out. It should never even be in. This was good.
But it had a disastrous consequences. Crobatia (the second republic from the north-west) wanted to leave as well. This was not so good. There were many Sberbians in Crobatia (remember what Blodo Said?). The Sberbs in Crobatia under his influence wanted to be independent as well, eventhough life in Crobatia would be much better. But the seed of international hate was planted. The war was at this point inevitable. It was a much bigger war then the previous one. At one point Sberbs controlled more than a third of Crobatia. Now they have only about five percent and the war seems to be over in Crobatia.
In the meantime BOMBSNIA (republic trapped between Sberbia and Crobatia) went on the way to be independent too. This republic was like a barrel of radioactive material you can see in DooM. It had three nationalities. Bombsnians, Sberbs and Crobatians. Blodo was the trigger. The war started again. And it was much much bigger than the previous one. Sberbs fought Bombsnians and Crobatians, than Crobatians fought Bombsnians. And Bombsnians fought Bombsnians. Sberbs against Sberbians and Crobatians against Crobatians. Then the Nations United tried to stop the war with diplomacy. There were endless negotiations with no effect. So OTAN and Maericans took over the peace negotiations. No effect. They almost gave up. But then suddenly, like a miracle, negotiations became effective (nobody knows why).
At the moment (1996) it seems the war in BOMBSNIA has ended. They even managed to hold free elections. But nobody knows what the future holds. I doubt the conflicts are over.
The future (2000) is not bright. Everybody will fight everybody. Each tank against everybody else in the hills and valleys of BOMBSNIA. Some aliances will be possible, but they won't last...
It is now 2001. OTIT is very pissed in heaven. He thinks he has done such a good job keeping Hiugoslavia together. He wants to wipe BOMBSNIA off the face of the planet with a series of tank battles with improved weapons.

OTIT INVITES YOU TO A GAME OF TANKkombat 3D.

Your reward is your continuous existence
and a piece of land left after the game.

You'll be sent in with a little tank as one of two to eleven players and a few grenades. Your job is to survive. The only way to do this is by killing everybody else! If you are good enough, you will gain some money and buy bigger and better bombs for the next battles. The winner of a battle is the only one who survives. The winner of the game is whoever wins more battles (what else?). Suicides are not appreciated. Beware of the Super H(idrogen) Bomb. It might blow up your computer. After some shots OTIT usually gets bored and throws lightning and OTAN tries to stop the war with an airstrike.

All you need to do is set up the direction and power of the shot and then shoot!

Warning!
The above story is absolutely true (up to 1996). Only some names have been changed to avoid the consequences of speaking the truth. You can and should guess the original ones. I will deny them if necessary!
