About the game

What you do in a play session

Tanks and Troops is a fast, intuitive World War II wargame that captures the chaos and thrill of battlefields across Europe and North Africa. Unlike more rigid wargames, it emphasizes authentic tactics, quick decision-making, and a healthy dose of uncertainty — because war isn't exactly a controlled environment, right? The game works with 10mm to 28mm miniatures and simulates section or platoon-level combat (10 to 50 miniatures per side), including vehicles, off-table artillery, varied scenarios, and even rules for smoke, medics, and battlefield chaos. Get ready to shout orders and feel the adrenaline of leading your troops into intense battles!
