Clash of Steel an alternative history
Clash of Steel is a dynamic, mission based game play to ensure that every battle is unique and cinematic. It is based on an Alternative History where the war in Europe finishes in 1944 with the surrender of Germany, but restarts just four years later in the face of Soviet aggression.
Players take to the tabletop with one of four initial forces (German, British, American or Soviet) in Epic Tank-On-Tank Combat using Highly Detailed Multi-Part Plastic Miniatures, battling over objectives in an attempt to control the battlefield and defeat their enemies.
Clash of Steel explore not only an alternative history but also the tanks that were designed but never made it off the drawing boards. At the same time we still have many of the iconic historical tanks, from the German Tiger II and Panther to the American Pershing and Soviet T-34.
Dynamic Mission Based Game Play
The new mission system designed for Clash of Steel allows players to quickly determine where they can deploy their forces, where to place the objectives that they will fight over and any game effects that they may have, as well as any special rules that effect the standard rules for a game.
Each Clash of Steel Starter Set comes with a complete set of Mission Setup Cards, Mission Rule Cards and Objective Cards, as well as Victory Point Dials and Objective Markers.
Players can be assured of a changing game experience each time they take to the tabletop.
Clash of Steel takes the mechanics from Flames Of War and focuses on the armoured vehicles that dominate battlefields. With this focused set of rules players can field a diverse mix of tanks. Fast movers that are designed to outflank and engage the enemy when they least expect it. Heavily armoured monsters that can shrug off all but the mightiest hits and specialist tank-hunters that carry the largest guns possible but perhaps lack the armour or speed of their enemies. Players will be able to build entire tank companies and feel the thrill of maneuvering their force across the table as they duel it out with their opponents.
Clash of Steel is:
- a game where players will feel that they were able to command an army of tanks.
- a game that is easy to understand the basics and start playing, but hard to master so there was always a new tactic to try out.
- a game where each player can win the game by playing smart and focusing on the objectives.
