Overview

The Tactical Assault: Combat Cards™ are a fun and innovative way to fight combined arms battles on the tabletop battlefield. The Combat Cards are designed to bring all of the detailed elements of land warfare – including the fog of war – to the tabletop in a narrative card-driven format that is easy to play yet full of challenges. To be successful you must be creative in your strategies, flexible in your tactics and attentive to the ever changing battlefield.

The key to the Combat Cards is the way in which they simulate every commander’s struggle with maximizing the use of their available assets in the face of the multitude of hazards, delays and other challenges on the battlefield. The Combat Cards integrate all of this in a fast and easy to use system that challenges players to balance the need for careful planning with a willingness to take risks and seize upon sudden opportunities.

The Combat Cards can be utilized for just about any modern historical period, starting with the 20th century, as well as any science fiction setting. They can be used with any scale of miniatures, any sized battlefield and for any size of battle – ranging from the smallest skirmish action all the way up to massive operational level maneuvers.

A new scenario (Scenario #5) has been posted in the Free Downloads section for the Combat Cards. We are very excited about this one, as it kicks-off our solitaire (1-player) scenarios. This time a group is caught in an isolated truck stop during the zombie apocalypse, and must face the final onslaught of the living dead. Will they survive? It is all up to you!  Warning: This is a very challenging scenario, so don’t expect to beat it on the first try – or maybe not even on the second, or third, or fourth try. Good luck!
