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.
