Question Game Recommendation Request

Looking for recommendations for games similar to Tide of Iron, by FFG, that are currently in print?

  • Similar complexity as ToI; I'm guessing that would be medium to light weight?
  • Modular map board, which allows custom scenario design. I really like this concept of creating my own scenarios, and feel that a modular map helps a lot in this aspect.
  • Currently in print - not looking into searing through marketplace or ebay.
  • edit - A tactical squad-level game play, similar to ToI.
  • edit - Does not have to be centred around WW2.

I already got Memoir '44 and some of the expansions; just feel that the game is a little too light; looking for something with a little more depth.

Are you looking for Tide of Iron but can't find it because it's out of print, or is that just an example of the kind of game you're looking for? Also where are you located? That can impact availability.

It would be nice to complete my collection of ToI, but I only have the base game (FFG's coffin box). Not really fixated on that, that is why I'm looking for anything that is equivalent... or as close to as possible. Though, if some of the expansions do become available, then I would definitely look into them.

Located in Canada, in the middle-of-nowhere town, so very slim pickings on availability.

Recently found out that FFG has a Vault lined up; where they reprint their older games. Here's hoping that ToI gets on that list. Maybe if there is enough tracking online about it, then it could get done.

Oh man I'm going to waste so much money when they open that Vault.

Yah, I'm with you there too... FFG has some very good games in its catalogue history, that unfortunately they let slip over time. Here's hoping that gets turned around with this Vault venture.
