Tide of Iron: Next Wave

Simulate tactical World War II combat between American and German forces in Western Europe, 1944–45. Players follow scenario-driven setups that specify forces, objectives, maps, and victory conditions, then command infantry, heavy weapons, and vehicles across modular hex maps. Components include plastic figures, vehicle models, cards, dice, markers, and double-sided map tiles with terrain hexes to create varied battlefields. Play emphasizes unit activation, movement, ranged and close combat resolved with dice and cards, and scenario-specific special rules and objectives that alter force composition and winning conditions.
