About XBolo
XBolo is a clone of the classic game Bolo written by Stuart Cheshire in the late 80’s. It’s a multiplayer action/strategy tank game played over the internet or LAN where 2 or more people can battle.
The objective of the game is to get control of all the bases, thereby starving your adversary of ammo. To take over a base that’s neutral
, all you do is drive over it. Enemy bases in red
. To take them you will have to shoot them until their armour is depleted and drive over it. In addition to bases you can capture pillboxes
to defend your bases and skilled players will use them to attack.
