Description

War Stories: Red Storm drops you into the midst of World War 2, 1942-43, where you'll command German and Soviet tanks and platoons of vehicles. The game is designed for 1 to 2 players and takes about 60 minutes to play, making it a great option for a fun and immersive evening. As the commander, you'll issue orders to infantry squads and armored fighting vehicles, using a unique system that regulates movement and combat without relying on complicated charts or modifiers. With a modular board and secret unit deployment, each game presents a new and exciting challenge. You'll have access to special asset and event cards that can turn the tide of battle, from machine guns and infiltration units to random events like reinforcements arriving or a wildfire breaking out. The game's normal complexity makes it easy to learn for fans of board games, and the realistic action will keep you on the edge of your seat.
