Overview[]
Storm of Steel try to reflect tactical combat during 1930 to 1950, a period starting, roughly, with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, and closing with the Korean War. These rules aim to give a quick game with simple mechanics, that can be easily memorised. (Long lists of die roll modifiers are avoided, instead different types of dice are used.) The rules are organized into two parts: Master Rules and Supplement Rules. The Master Rules (this set) contain the game mechanism and rules that are common to all games, regardless of army or theatre of war. The Supplement Rules contain the special rules, AFV and AT Gun specifications, Random events cards, Artillery Classifications etc, needed to emulate the workings of specific armies in a specific theatre of War.
