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!

4 Meeting Engagement Scenario
I've uploaded this sheet which is basically a figure cost calculator. I've discussed and shown this with Hector131, as his work was my inspiration. With his inputs, this is the version I have published now. Note that in general the points are similar to Hector's, with the exception of the Thick Armor tanks, where I intentionally have given a large premium on that ability. I have also included the optional "stationary turret" rule in the costing of the SP guns. Finally, if you want to apply the "open top" rule to halftracks and trucks, then you can just adjust their points as well.

I put down the card to this expansion, maybe the maker of the original list can put those 2 together and maybe its a hint to those who have other expansions.

5 Machinegun Hilton
On their way home from their slot in an all night patrol, the 507th takes heavy machinegun fire and is forced to take cover in a two story building. Holding them off until nightfall, they plan to make their escape under the cover of darkness. Followup scenario to Rescue From the Sky. If used as part of the "507th" campaign which this is Part 2 of, the prisoners rescued from Rescue From the Sky will be part of the 507th forces. Again, this scenario is based off one from FASA's Behind Enemy Lines WW2 RPG. Updated to correct numerical and spelling errors.
