The TSWW Game Series
TSWW is the premier operational board war gaming system which, using interlocking games and modules enables you to fight as the Axis, Allies or Soviets in WW2. It provides you with operational gaming at its finest!
The system
The game system has a 15 mile land hex, a 75 mile sea zone/strategic map hex, with air units operating seamlessly with both hex sizes. Ground units typically are Divisional in size, with Brigades, Regiments and Battalions included for their combined arms capabilities, combat effects, and their combat power. Air units are approximately 40 aircraft at full strength, and half that on their reduced side. Naval units are individual ships from Battleship to Fleet Destroyer, with smaller craft in flotillas. Submarines spread their lethal effects into adjacent zones, and we are the only game system we are aware of to show logistics flowing forward to the forces in the field.
Specialist units that had an exceptional impact may be shown despite their comparative rarity or small size in all fields, so TSWW includes specialist ASW air units, Decima MAS, the LRDG, the Brandenburg Regiment, the Chindits, the Lushai Brigade and so forth as a result of their impact (real or imagined) on operations.
The aim
The aim of the game system is to provide a fun environment to play a game that will, if players take historical decisions, give a result that is comparable to the historic record. Clearly, as soon as you decide to invade Poland with the Swiss, that changes to a âwhat ifâ environment, and knowing that we all like to try the unusual, the game system and its components usually include âwhat ifâ modules, optional forces and a system design which permits players to test their favourite concepts without breaking the game system.
Since release in 2010, TSWW has become one of the most highly reviewed game systems available, and we have a variety of customer comments ranging from âwow â never thought I could get something like thisâ to âamazing â the best game I have ever playedâ. We pride ourselves on the quality of the contents of each and every one of our games, and go the extra mile to make the games that little bit special.
