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!

0 Joe's bridge version 3.2
Joes_bridge_v32.pdf
I made this scenario because I wanted to play a Belgian-Dutch flavored scenario. Have fun with it, and please contact me, if you encounter problems with this scenario (only play tested it twice) ----------------------------------- Joe's Bridge is the nickname given to Bridge No.9 on the Maas - Scheldt Canal in the Belgian city of Lommel just south of the Belgian-Dutch border. The bridge was captured by British troops in September 1944, becoming the springboard for the ground offensive of Operation Market-Garden. source Wikipedia
0 Reglas Caseras... pero molonas
Reglas_caserillas_para_el_Mareas_de_Acero.pdf
Una serie de reglas caseras y discutibles con las que he intentado hacer mas jugable el juego (valga la rebuznancia). He anyadido la opcion de compra de acciones, "pelotones" de francotiradores, he mejorado a los tanques (ahora son la canya) y, entre otras cosas, he simplificado el sistema de bombardeo y artilleria que era un cognazo. En fin, que lo disfruteis.
