About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive headfirst into an alternate World War II reality with the Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook! Forget everything you know about history, because here the 1949 war is raging with alien technology, occult powers, and resurrected Slavic gods. On one side, the Union bets on advanced technology, born from Roswell wreckage. On the other, the Reich, led by a Kaiser with mystical powers, seeks to enhance its sinister abilities. To top it off, Mother Russia joins the fray with Slavic deities and Tesla's contraptions that rival the Union's weaponry. This revised edition consolidates the rules from the base game and the Operation: Novgorod expansion, also incorporating content from individual figure packs. The goal? To unify all rules into a single 96-page book, without requiring new purchases if you already own the original game. It's your chance to have all Tannhäuser rules at your fingertips, featuring intuitive mechanics and plenty of action, while maintaining the narrative depth that has won over fans. If you enjoy war scenarios with a supernatural twist and unique powers for each faction, this revision is for you!
