Inside The Starter Set: Everything but the Tanks!

Everything You Need… in English, French, German and Polish!

Inside the World of Tanks: Miniatures Game Starter Set you will find everything you need to play a game, except a table and an opponent, to play your first games. We’ve even included translated versions of the Rulebook and all the cards in French, German and Polish, so you can engage with friends in your neighbourhood and around the world!

Crew, Module, And Upgrade Cards

Crew, module, and upgrade Cards represent the extraordinary soldiers or additional equipment that separates an individual tank from the factory standard. They are used to modify a tank’s stats or give them extra abilities.

In the Starter Set, you will find 31 different cards that you can use to personalise your tanks, along with the Tank Cards for the Maus, IS-3, Centurion Mk. 1 and T29.

Players familiar with the online game will recognise many of their favourite crew skills and perks, equipment and tank modules. Their abilities in the miniatures game have been based on their online counterparts, making for an immersive experience.

Dice, Tokens And Terrain

The Starter Box includes a set of six custom six-sided dice featuring blank, hit and critical faces. Future accessory packs will include more dice, including nation-specific coloured dice with the critical face replaced by a national symbol.

Each game uses a mixture of terrain: woods, hills, buildings and walls to make each battlefield unique. Inside the box, you will find a pair of double-sided cardboard woods or hills, which provide cover or block line of sight, four buildings that restrict your movement options and can hide tanks, and four walls that can provide some cover from enemy fire.

Lastly, there is a range of cardboard tokens to help you keep track of what is going on during the battle: which tank is which and how fast they moved, along with a measuring arrow, used for everything from movement, checking close range, and setting up the battlefield.

Critical Deck

In the World of Tanks: Miniatures Game most hits tend to eat away at the hit points of a tank, but there are always those exceptional hits that damage equipment or even kill the crew. To represent these potentially devastating hits there is a critical deck of 32 cards ranging from a Lucky Hit that does extra damage, through to the Engine Fire card that can potentially wreck a tank with one hit.

To learn more about the different types of Critical Hits that your tanks might be affected by, read Criticals Are Deadly’!

New Ways To Build Your Platoon

Existing players may have looked at some of the teasers for the new tanks and though “how am I going to fit all of these awesome new tanks in my Platoons?” Great news there as we have some suggestions on how you can theme your games with options for Standard Play that create a fast and furious game where anything goes, but the points are restricted. We also have Matched Play that scales the points for the game to the Tiers of tanks you want to use so you can field 3 (yes, we did say 3) Maus tanks and still have points for some upgrades!

Stay tuned for more information on these two exciting game modes.
