Rulebook, Cards & Dice

If you get one of the Introductory Sets and you want to get the added bits and pieces you need for your games, you can add that with the Rulebook, Command And Conquest Deck and the Dice.

Armoured Clash Rulebook // Warcradle Studios

Inside the Rulebook...

"Within this 160-page book, you will find the Rules for Armoured Clash, a 10mm scale tabletop wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent ranks of infantry, squadrons of armoured vehicles, and huge fighting machines known as Behemoths. Alongside the rules, you will find stunning artwork, images from a stunning miniatures range, and comprehensive lore regarding The Dystopian Age and its Great Powers."

The Command And Conquest Cards are great because they are key to issuing commands but also scoring victory points, really putting a twist on your games.

Armoured Clash Command & Conquest Deck // Warcradle Studios

Last but not least, you have the Dice. You get twenty-four of them in the set that should be enough for you and an opponent to get stuck in.
