Why Fields of Iron?
Four reasons to
join the battle.
A fast, terrain-rich WWII game that works with the hobby world already around you, and arrives as a complete two-player battlefield.
Every player stays in the fight
Alternating vehicle activations create constant back-and-forth action. No waiting through an opponent’s entire turn.
The mission wins the battle
Rescue, defend, escape and break through in terrain-led scenarios where roads, ruins and tactical decisions determine victory.
A complete war in one crate
Two armies, eight tanks, scenery, an A0 battlefield, rules, 52 cards, 80 tokens and six dice. Everything two players need.
Open the crate. Build the battlefield. Fight your first battle.
Your battlefield. Your decisions.
One complete tank war in a box.
Born on the tabletop
A proper tank battle.
Without the long evening.
Born at the table of Posset Wargamers, Fields of Iron was made because we wanted a game that was quick to set up, easy to understand and exciting from the first activation to the last shot.
One scale. A whole world of choice.
Your battlefield may already be waiting.
Fields of Iron is built around British 00 gauge, or 1:76 scale. That means players can draw on decades of model railway scenery to create villages, stations, bridges, roads, factories, woods and complete landscapes without waiting for a special range of game terrain.
It also sits comfortably beside the enormous selection of 1:72 and 1:76 military models already available from established kit manufacturers. Use the Fields of Iron miniatures, bring vehicles you already own, or discover an almost limitless choice of tanks, trucks, guns and unusual wartime machines.
