Description Edit | History

Tide of Iron is a game of World War II tactical conflict for two to four players. The components in this base game allow players to simulate the dramatic struggle that took place between American and German forces in Northern Europe during the years 1944 and 1945.

Tide of Iron is a Scenario-based game, with the available forces, objectives, map, and victory conditions being set by each given scenario. It features loads of plastic figures, including soldiers, equipment, heavy weapons, and combat vehicles, cards, dice, cardboard markers, and modular game boards that will represent the customizable terrain of this scenario-based wargame.

The twelve double-sided map tiles, plus the dozens of included terrain hexes, allow for limitless potential combinations, and each scenario can be enhanced by special rules, objective markers, troop allotments, and other variations. The only limiting factor is your imagination!

3 Drei Koenige
During the Ardennes offensive of December, 1944 the 1st SS Panzer division was the cutting edge. Their mission was to move swiftly and secure the roads and bridges ahead of the advancing German army. The 1st SS was made up of the finest troops and equipment the Germans had at the time. One of the weapons in their arsenal was the mightly King Tiger heavy tank. Armed with a massive 20' long 88mm gun and weighing in at some 70 tons the King Tiger was a fearsome tank. The Americans, faced with this Tide of Iron, retreated at first. But they soon halted and engaged to delay the enemy. Forcing the Germans to use up dangerously limited supplies.

2 Turn Record
I know this probably will seem a silly one for most of you, but I found that especially playing solo, when in the thick of a cunning plan, I've thought "hmmm, how many times have I moved, I can't remember", This can happen when the board is full of fatigue markers. well I've quickly made a little reminder that you can laminate and use a token or chip or something to move each time you perform an action.

This is the terrain reference sheet that is printed on the back of the scenario book. I did the usual laminating of this for longevity.
