Photographs from WW2 are used to good effect on the game’s Strategy Cards evoking a somewhat “documentary” feel. Terrain overlays provide even greater flexibility. These double-sided panels can be configured end-to-end or side-by-side in small or large numbers to create battlefields of many dimensions. Tide of Iron’s scenarios are played out on illustrated map-panels which render relatively realistic European terrain – forests, rivers, etc. (This review focuses on the base game except where otherwise noted.)įantasy Flight Games suggests that Tide of Iron focuses on “realistically simulating squad-level combat,” but is “streamlined enough to appeal to the casual gamer.” It is on this seldom-trodden ground between simulation and casual appeal where Tide of Iron finds its charm and its detractions. Within two years its family has grown to include a handful of expansions: Days of The Fox (set in WW2’s North African theater) and Normandy (recreating the conflicts of D-Day) as well as a volume of scenarios created by well-known wargame designers and a map-board expansion. Tide of Iron entered the gaming world in 2007 as a hefty “coffin box” by Fantasy Flight Games. The game play is fast-paced, smooth, and surprisingly deep, as players must take and hold vital objectives on the game board and decide how best to use each and every unit under their command. Each game is played as a single scenario, either chosen from the included scenario guide or created by the players themselves, over a map constructed from modular, double-sided game boards and terrain overlays. The TIDE OF IRON base game focuses on the American and German armies in Northern Europe in the years 19. With streamlined, scenario-driven gameplay and an attention to historic detail, TIDE OF IRON is sure to delight every fan of tactical, historical wargaming. TIDE OF IRON is the definitive board game of WWII squad-level combat, for 2-4 players. 12 modular boards will allow you to customize your playing experience, letting you test your tactical prowess in dozens of scenarios. The most important conflict in the history of the world comes to your tabletop through a realistic simulation of squad-level combat, featuring hundreds of detailed plastic figures, including soldiers, tanks, and other combat vehicles. The American forces slowly but surely are advancing toward Germany, certain they will ultimately succeed. Well trained, battle hardened, and equipped with lethal machinery, the German forces will attempt to break the American lines during their last major offensives. But his German armed forces amassed throughout Europe, are still a formidable foe, preventing the Allies from truly declaring victory.
