Tide of Iron

Já andava a namorar este jogo de tabuleiro à algum tempo no BoardGameGeek, e finalmente a Fantasy Flight Games acabou de activar o ciberespaço o site oficial do jogo.

Falo do Tide of Iron - um jogo de tabuleiro de combate táctico passado na 2ª Guerra Mundial, com um desenho visual muito na linha de um Memoir'44 - o que só pode ser bom - mas com um maior grau de complexidade e detalhe, e com um preço mais alto a condizer, claro.

O lançamento está previsto para Janeiro de 2007, e será de esperar que a NetSurf distribua mais este jogo da Fantasy Flight Games..

TIDE OF IRON is the definitive board game of WWII squad-level combat, for 2-4 players. With streamlined, scenario-driven gameplay and an attention to historic detail, TIDE OF IRON is sure to delight every fan of tactical, historical wargaming.

This 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, over a map constructed from modular, double-sided game boards and terrain overlays. 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.
