An epic board game of WWII tactical combat in the deserts of North Africa, on the beaches of Normandy, in the expanses of the Eastern Front, and beyond.
A friend reckons it’s ‘Squad Leader-light’, but this big box WWII squad level combat game from Fantasy Flight is a faster, simpler system with a good dose of strategy—and lots of plastic army men! This comprehensive rules summary and reference sheet has a customised side for the American, German or British player, and a special Combat reference sheet.
Recently, FFG passed this game licence on to 1A Games, who, after some mucking about on Kickstarter, released a Stalingrad expansion and re-released the original game. At the moment, sadly, Tide of Iron is out of print.
Any plans to update with Fury of the Bear?
Yes! In fact it’s a work in progress that I left half-finished. I’ll get back to work on it.
Excellent! 🙂
Will that also include the new Stalingrad expansion as well? I love these play aids. We use these all the time when playing. Great job!
It’s a long job to finish this and add Stalingrad as well – it’s on the ‘to do’ list but there are quite a few things ahead of it in the queue at the moment. Unfortunately no one’s paying me to do this full-time! 😉
Thanks for doing these!
Super helpful, much better than the original booklets. I really hope you get to the Bear!
