The game had the tag line &#8220;A Game of Tactics on Land Sea and Air&#8221;. Actually Tri-Tactics was a based on a combination of some other popular games such as Dover Patrol and Aviation.The  popular war-themed strategy board games released by H.P.Gibson &amp; Sons in the 1930&#8217;s grew in popularity. In time  H.P.Gibson developed in 1935 Tri-Tactics where all aspects of those games worked in the use of land, sea and air units.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Tri-Tactics&#8217; game was a 2 player game and contained 112 Card playing pieces on plastic stands (either Land Sea or Air) a gaming board consisting of land and sea grids some value tables and rules<\/p>\n<p>Tri-Tactics will know doubt have many fans that have there own strategy as being the best way to play. I must admit its been many years since I last played this game. I have little memory of the strategy i used back then accept the similar strategy i currently use in chess, &#8211; &#8220;get the upper hand from the start and then solidify&#8221;.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/tri-tactics-board-game\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri-Tactics-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Tri-Tactics\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri-Tactics-160x127.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri-Tactics-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri-Tactics-377x300.jpg 377w, https:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tri-Tactics.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>Tri-Tactics was a popular board game in the seventies by H.P.
