The Armored Fist: Combined Arms Combat in the Second World War

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Now version 2!

Armored Fist: a rule system for squad and individual vehicle all-arms combat during World War Two.

Suitable for company to battalion-sized actions during the Second World War, this system can simulate both infantry and combined arms operations and give realistic outcomes to combats early and late in the conflict. Simulate the real tactical choices that confronted commanders in every period of the conflict.

Core concepts are the alternating player turn, detection, defensive fire during the active player’s movement, and unit cohesion. This game is related to Modern Armor, a simulation of post-World War Two combined arms combat.  The figure scale is a single vehicle or squad of infantry, with a turn covering (very) roughly five minutes of combat. The rules are written to allow hex or map measurement, with one unit of distance equaling 50 meters. Typical scale is 1”=50m as a decent compromise between the scale of micro-armor figures and playing spaces. 

Included in this title:

  • Complete Rule System, including vehicle and equipment charts
  • Combat Tables
  • Game Counters and Artillery Templates
  • Quick Play and Historical Scenarios covering 1939 to 1945

We’re pleased to announce an overhaul of the rules and tables for Armored Fist. In addition to cleaner, expanded rules for m any sections: building damage, fires, counter-battery fire, and new optional rules covering sandbag armor and brittle German steel.

I see that Battlefront has named a new Flames of War expansion "Armoured Fist." Obviously, there is no connection between this rule-set and FoW.

The print edition and some of the Rule PDF files omit this rather critical paragraph:

Scale: 1"=50m — a compromise between the scale of 1/285th figures and playing spaces.
Throughout these rules, rolling one die is referred to as dr, and rolling two dice is DR. A low roll is almost always the desired result.

Thank you to the gentleman who pointed this out to me.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
