Word War II was the greatest mobilization of fighting men and machines that the world has ever seen; tanks and soldiers combined into a veritable tide of iron that changed the world. Now, the largest and deadliest conflict in history comes to your tabletop in Fantasy Flight’s game of World War II squad-level tactics!

Tide of Iron is a board game that places 2-4 players in command of their own divisions of fighting men and machines in the most important conflict in the world's history. Your brave soldiers will capture and hold objectives, lay down covering fire, and with a bit of determination and luck, they will emerge victorious.

Featuring hundreds of detailed plastic figures, including soldiers, tanks, and other combat vehicles, Tide of Iron offers rules that focus on realistically simulating squad-level combat, but are streamlined enough to appeal to casual board gamers. Tide of Iron  also features twelve modular game boards that can be reset to customize your playing experience every time. Up to 4 players (divided into 2 teams) can test their tactical prowess in dozens of scenarios, meaning a wealth of replayability.

The Tide of Iron base game focuses on the American and German armies in Northern Europe in the years 1944 and 1945. Each game is played as a single scenario, either chosen from the included scenario guide or created by the players themselves. 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.
