Tide of Iron
(Fantasy Flight Games)
Available Now
World War II was the greatest struggle of nations that our world had ever seen. Like tides of iron, fighting men and their machines swept across continents, their fates defining a generation and the course of history.
June 6th, 1944, D-day. The massive allied military landing in Normandy was heralded as "the longest day" of the war. Yet, it was but the opening salvo for the Allied offensive into western Europe. During the year that followed, American forces and their British allies encountered strong German resistance, enduring setbacks in Holland and barely containing the last German offensive in the Ardennes forest.
Although bludgeoned by defeats in Russia and Africa, and systematically weakened in Allied bombing of its supply and production infrastructure, the German army remained a formidable foe. The soldiers and officers of Germany's "Wehrmacht" were well trained, battle hardened, and in possession of some of the finest and most lethal equipment of war.
Tide of Iron is a board game of tactical World War II combat. This epic game grants 2-4 players control of either the American or German military forces, pitting squads of fighting men and vehicles against each other in one of the many enclosed scenarios.
An innovative game system allows players to customize their squad compositions, to make both tactical and strategic decisions with the unique "command" system, and to engage the enemy through the planning and execution of WWII battlefield tactics.
Tide of Iron provides players with a vast array of high quality modular game boards, terrain overlay pieces, various battlefield fortifications, operations and strategy cards, as well as 17 unique unit types.
