Depot Duel

Two depots, one yard, and artillery across it. Set the angle and the power, read a wind that changes every turn, and shunt along the yard to break their range.

How to Play

• You and the rival depot sit at opposite ends of a yard you are both wrecking
• Set an angle and a power, then fire. Where it lands, the ground goes
• The wind is a fresh gust every turn, so the setting that just worked will not do again
• Shunt along the yard on diesel to break their range, and expect them to shunt too
• Blow the ground out from under a bus and it drops into the hole and takes the fall
• Traffic cones never run out. Everything else comes out of the farebox between rounds
• Landing shots is what earns farebox, so aiming well pays for the heavy gear
• A retread tyre rolls downhill after it lands, so you can bank it into a pit
• A timetable drop splits at the top of the arc, and a speed hump puts ground back
• First depot to three rounds takes the match, and the rival tightens its aim each round

Controls

• Drag anywhere on the yard to set the angle and power, then press FIRE
• ← → angle · ↑ ↓ power · hold SHIFT to move one at a time
