I picked up the US vs Soviet box. The models look great, the mechanics look interesting and there's actually DECALS for the vehicles included! It irritates me to no end that many of the FoW and TY boxes do not come with decals. Instead they want you to go and buy their extra decal set(s). Always feels like I'm getting nickled and dimed without the decals. Anyways, good review!
This game exists because sometimes I just want to put some tanks down, not need any effect cards or upgrade cards, and jsut blast my opponent. And because I already have E-100s, Maus, and T95s and more Pershings than I know what to do with. So yeah let's go Clash of Steel!
As long as they have unit cards for those tanks in Clash of Steel, the answer is yes. The models from world of tanks are just assembled / primered kits from Flames of War / Team Yankee. Just know going in that tanks in this game are usually bought in units of 2-5, and are priced accordingly.
Hmm, an alternate history game with no realism.....not for any serious wargamer, IMO. Games like this appeal mainly to kids. If the game had some really unique game mechanics that made it a great game tactically, it would be another story, but I can't imagine any mature, serious historical wargamer bothering with a game like this. It may serve well as a gateway for younger folks to engage in a more serious wargame or simulation.
Yes indeed. All the things that make WW2 gaming so fascinating. Still, if some gamers have issues chewing gum and climbing the stairs at the same time...
