Used to be a big WoT player. This looks like a good game to play with my kids. It's great that you're branching out beyond sci-fi games Crabbok, brings more depth to your channel. I appreciate how candid you are with the game as well, noting both strengths and weaknesses of the game.
I already ordered several of the expansions and the starter set. I am waiting on my delivery but I am too excited to wait. I am looking to see what the scale is of the mini's. Would you be willing to put some rough dimensions of a couple of the tanks so I can do the math to figure out the scale. I am wanting to get some scale 3D terrain and map pieces but I want it to be semi accurate.
I also would NOT advise a second core set. Right now the four tanks in the core set are available for individual purchase and G9 also has four new sets of dice, one each for each nation, so you can get more tanks and dice without another large purchase
Thanks for the video, I’ve been looking for a game to get into with my kids or my friends when we are short on time. This seems perfect, and hadn’t heard of it until I found your video.
Well that's it you have helped make up my mind on purchasing this game. I love miniatures however since joining your channel I'm going broke trying to get something together haha. Worth it! Thanks for the great informative videos.
Thank you for the gameplay review! I’ve only been painting my tanks so far and only read the rule book one. Seemed easy to follow but a practical example is definitely better. In terms of expansions I’m really looking forward to the Tiger I (surprised you didn’t show the fist five expansions they show in the core game) and hope they eventually release the Maus, T-28, and KV-2.
While I was watching this video, I found that the upgrade card setup is similar to the armada one. I like the idea of faction specified upgrades in tabletop games. Thank you for all of your help and thank you for your service!
This is pretty much a re-do of GF9's Tanks game from a few years ago to fit in with WoT. Tanks is a historical version that has a few minor differences. Even if destroyed a tank gets to make a last shot, you can't mix sides (no Germans allying with Brits or Soviets, for example), and national traits. Game play is the same.
World of Tanks: Miniatures Game is an evolution of Tanks, rather than a reskin. Game play has changed to bring it more in line with the online experience, and you can indeed mix nations. Find out the differences at gf9games.com/worldoftanks
I have a lot of Flames of War tanks, but I often don’t have to time to set up the large map and army’s for play. Also my kids still find Flames of war a little complicated. World of Tanks is a great way for me to use some of my Flames of War models for quick simple games with my kids. They also play X-Wing with me so WoT was a very easy transition with some similarities in the gameplay and turn sequence
I remember seeing this game and being interested in it, or one extremely similar to it, a few years ago, before the apparent WoT rebranding. I think it was just called "Tanks". Thanks for putting this on, or bringing this back to, my radar. I played WoT for a long time (since beta) and loved it, but stopped recently, mainly due to some gameplay and balance reasons.
Played it from from the alpha days on console and about 4 years after its full release before I got tired of it. The miniatures game looks decent. That map though is amazing.
The game is awesome, and highly worth playing. I am disappointed though that the models come preassembled. I quite enjoyed having to put them together in the original Tanks game.
@@ghostofnobodyinparticular2505 bit difficult to play the game alone tho XD And I still need a source from where I can buy them, and I can only find the starterset :/ Do you know the name of the old version?
It was GaleForce 9's game called Tanks. It was discontinued in favor of this game, but you can still find many models at a decent price, and GaleForce 9's larger game Flames of War also has all the models, and more.
If you are looking for comparaison, World of Tank have some similarity to Star Wars X-Wing. And Bolt Action (from Warlord Games) is more like Star Wars Armada. :)
Not quite how I would have done it. Would have been cool if the blueprint was on the card and crits hit the tank in the spot on the blueprint destroyed whatever was there. Would have made it a bit more tactical since tanks have a 360 shot radius for the most part
@@chaoticinkinc.3145 here in the UK its roughly £8 per expansion...very cheap compared to an X Wing expansion...I do intend on getting the carry case for this game too as to not anger the fiancée with having loads of mini tanks strewn about the place haha
Thanks for the review. Looks interesting but I’d rather the nations be factions that can’t generally be mixed. Feels weird to run a Panzer next to a Sherman. Best tank board game that’s short is FINAL ACT. So good! Check it out.
The tanks look cool, but the World of Tanks miniatures game seems too basic. Perhaps simplicity is a selling point to some players, but not me. X-Wing is as "simplistic" as I like, and I prefer Armada and Legion's greater complexity. That's why I pledged for the Company of Heroes Kickstarter, which is shipping soon. I love the Company of Heroes video games, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy the board game too. CoH has more units than just tanks, 3D terrain and buildings, capture points, resources, and objectives. It's a more complex game, which appeals to me. It would be great if Crabbok checked out Company of Heroes.
My guy the world of tanks starter set is like five times cheaper than the cheapest pledge of company of heroes, did you really think you were going to get an entire army and 3d terrain for 30$
'Tanks' for the review! Not the biggest fan of historical stuff. I'd be more apt to try it if it was sci-fi. I suppose you could add in an appropriately scaled separatist tank.

I think I might get this for my son and I to play. He plays the video game and LOVES all the tanks.

I think the cards sticking together are just a case of them being glossy, I live in a dry climate and they stick together like yours were.

As a WoT PC player, I appreciate this look at the game. Not enough to get into, but thank you for going through it because I was very curious.
WAIT. IS THAT A KONAMI CODE STAR WARS STARFIGHTER SHIRT?
Yes it is! I sell them on my teespring store!
Great review, thanks for covering this one, I was curious as to how it played. You should do a WoT batrep.
Thank you for the gameplay review! I’ve only been painting my tanks so far and only read the rule book one. Seemed easy to follow but a practical example is definitely better.

I’ve always liked play semi historical battles so having an easy tank game seems great
It's also a free to play video game. It's pretty bad but I've been playing it for 3 years

Love this game...I know Crabbok loves his terrain, you need to pick up some Battlefield in the Box Terrain to really make that battlefield pop.
Perfect system for "Girls und Panzer". Panzer Vor!
I believe the proper description of this type of game is: It's a 'Beer and Pretzels' game.
This game looks pretty interesting, and it's cheap! The simplicity of the game definitely means it's more accessible.

Nice, seems like a gateway drug for X-Wing
Played it from from the alpha days on console and about 4 years after its full release before I got tired of it. The miniatures game looks decent. That map though is amazing.
Might be interesting just for collecting the models
The game is awesome, and highly worth playing. I am disappointed though that the models come preassembled. I quite enjoyed having to put them together in the original Tanks game.

You are welcome!

Looks interesting, would like to see some actual gameplay
Britain. Not “England,” though it might end up that way after Scotland et al.... anyway..... good review, I wasn’t interested until now. 😀😂
Not quite how I would have done it. Would have been cool if the blueprint was on the card and crits hit the tank in the spot on the blueprint destroyed whatever was there. Would have made it a bit more tactical since tanks have a 360 shot radius for the most part
They are Flames of war tanks I’ll be able to use the hundreds that I have.
Tanks for the video!!!
the tanks are so freaking detailed the tank im really interested about for wots is the m26 pershing
I can’t wait to get my hands on this game...surprisingly affordable too from what I’ve seen
It is! Especially if you order the game and expansions through Miniature Market. Less than $10 for each expansion is just awesome.

Sherman swarm replaces Tie swarm?

Didn't the germans use captured shermans on the eastern front?
You can buy the expansion and use different german, english, etc. tanks and make ur own rule to only use one nation per team
The game looks fun. And very simple.
Looks really cool!

I didn't know WG made a miniatures game based off of their game. I wonder if they are planning a World of Warships miniature game?
if WG thinks it will make money, they are totally fine bringing the sharks out. :)
It's made by Gale Force Nine under license from WG. If lots of people like it, there may be potential to look at the other properties!
Looks fun.
When I bought the board game game it didn’t have the Map
Very cool
Review ASOIAF by CMON next Crabbok
My current favorite game! Bumped Legion to 2
'Tanks' for the review!
Not the biggest fan of historical stuff. I'd be more apt to try it if it was sci-fi.
I suppose you could add in an appropriately scaled separatist tank.
Damn seems so cooooool!
PanzerKampfvagen cmon man xD
Hello everyone 😁
I rather have 3d terrain even if it is cardboard
Swarm of light tanks
