The Miniatures: The sprues that these minis come on are moulded in coloured plastic (bright green for the Yanks and dark green for the Russkies), so that even if you have no idea about modern tanks, you will still be able to tell which ones are yours at a glance. Whilst it’s only printed on simple glossy paper, I really don’t see this as being an issue, as the game seems to be simple enough to pick up that you’ll only ever need to refer to it for your first two or three games. The rulebook is in full colour, and seems to be fairly easily navigable. I know that some players prefer to replace card tokens with plastics, but in this instance at lease, there’s really no need for it. Not bad, not bad at all!Ĭomponents: The decks are all printed on decent card stock and come nicely laminated should you want to track anything such as damage on them using a grease pencil (just like a real tanker!), while the terrain and token sheets are all done on heavy duty card that will be easily durable enough for hundreds of plays. A US M1 Abrams and two Soviet T-64 Main Battle Tank sprues, a playing card- sized deck of stat cards (for far more vehicles and types than you’re ever likely to use, I might add), two smaller decks for upgrades and damage, three heavy-duty punchable sheets of terrain and tokens, six D6s in two colours, a 26-page A4 rulebook, a quick-assembly guide, and a flyer for Team Yankee/Flames of War. As a result, this isn’t technically an unboxing, more like a “here’s what you get” article.Ĭontents: Upon opening the box the first thing you’ll notice is that there’s quite a lot inside for £20. Unfortunately, I decided to get stuck straight in and built the minis (as I usually do, got to love those shiny new tanks!), so there are no pics of the sprues. I bought this a few weeks back at Claymore 2019 (an annual Scottish gaming event), and thought I’d write about it.
