The Tactical Assault: Combat Cards™ is an elegant card-driven rule set for bringing all of the challenges of combined arms warfare - including command & control and the fog of war - to the tabletop battlefield in a very playable fashion. The rules are even able to incorporate the some of the more problematic aspects of modern operations such as air support, artillery barrages, fortifications, smoke screens, engineering operations and so forth into the same fast-play, narrative based system.

About the game

What is Tactical Assault: Combat Cards

Despite being deceptively simple in appearance, the Combat Cards provide a very challenging game full of hard choices and long range planning. The fact that every card can offer multiple options, that there is no way of knowing exactly when certain cards will appear in a player's hand, and that not every unit will be available at all times (e.g. due to combat effects, confusion, etc.) forces players to carefully weigh the benefits and risks of almost every tactical decision within the framework of their overall strategic plan.

In addition, with the incorporation of expansion decks, even more challenge and detail can be easily added to the base game. This allows players to customize the rules to the level of complexity they most enjoy.

And if folks prefer their battles more in the form of a traditional board game, the Combat Cards can be combined with the new Tactical Assault: Legendary Battles™ print-n-play packs. These sets give Combat Card players everything they need to play exciting battles in a hex and counter style format - including unique scenarios, beautiful full color maps and more than enough counters to allow players to develop their own scenarios. The only thing the players need to provide is their own Combat Card decks!
