One of those mini-wargames from the 70's put out by Steve Jackson Games, or someone like them. Premise was ground effect vehicle tanks; one side consisting of a bunch of standard tank-like and infantry weapons; other side consisting of one humongous vehicle that took a lot of killing. It was cooler for the concept than for the play. Tactics were very simple for either side: do lots of damage to the other guy, before he takes you out. Not much maneuver.
