July 3, 2020 by brennon
Gale Force Nine has another set of pre-orders open for you to check out right now beyond the Sci-Fi world of Aliens. You can also now pick up the core set for the World Of Tanks Miniatures Game and some of the first wave of reinforcements for it too.
World Of Tanks Miniatures Game // Gale Force Nine
Teaming up with the folks behind World Of Tanks, they have refined the format that we've seen before in TANKS and brought it in life with the aesthetic from the video game. The Starter Set comes with all of the components you need for the game plus a set of scenarios and ways to upgrade your tanks to suit you as well.
The four tanks in the main set (shown above) are the PZ.KPFW. IV AUSF. H, Cromwell, M4 Sherman and T-34. You will also be able to buy the expansion packs for the StuG III G, M3 Lee, SU-100 and Valentine.

There are going to be lots more waves coming your way so make sure to keep an eye on what Gale Force Nine has in store. I think it is a good idea that they tweaked this to work alongside the World Of Tanks video game as perhaps this could be a good way to get your friends interested in tabletop gaming.
Will you be picking this up?

Mmm a computer game as a board game I’ll watch a player video before I think if it’s good then.
It probably shares more than a few similarities with their Tanks game.
We will know the details once it is released/reviewed for real …
Some of the other conversions were good.
I believe, from what they have said, that this is a re-skin of the Tanks WW2 game.
While this does seem a little redundant, it does seem like a good idea. You’ve got plenty of small-scale tanks all over the place you can use to play, so building up your army is really easy compared to other minis games, and the box gives you just enough to get started.
Le Tonk XD
So what about the original tanks game? Are the cards still usable? Is there a cheaper upgrade pack?
Just carry on playing Tanks. I don’t see any chance of an ‘upgrade’ pack, in fact I think this game is a downgrade of the old Tanks game. At least that had a stack of cards for tanks that did not come in the box, and you had to build the models. I just don’t know who this is aimed at. WoT players will carry on playing the computer game, and the pre-built and undercoated tanks are not that enticing. Maybe if they had a proper paint job on them it would tempt people?
As opposed to what I thought before, the M3 Lee has been reclassed as a tank destroyer instead of a Medium as it had been online from the expansion. Its about damn time because of the stupid hull lock. Now about targeting the lower glacis for some tanks and getting the easy pen for damage.. no ability to make called shots I’m assuming.
It does give me pause to thinking that the Ferrari with a glass cannon strapped on top might never see the light of day (AMX ELC)… HOORAY!!!!
Comes with 4 tank cards…. so like the computer game..keep buying…
