Nations At War: Starter Kit

See If the System Suits You

Nations At War runs at platoon and company level, which is a different game from a squad-level one even when the war is the same. The only way to find out whether that is what you want is to play it.

Introductory scenarios put you in command of a small force.

The rules here are the rules the full games use, held down to what those scenarios actually need. Infantry, tanks and the guns behind them, with line of sight, armour facing, suppression and morale all working the way they do in the boxed games. Two six-sided dice and you are ready.

Two Editions

The Print and Play edition is free. The manual carries the maps, counters, scenarios and player aids, and you print them. The Printed edition ships you full-colour maps and die-cut counters, and you download the same manual for the rest. The Starter Kit is also inside the free Nations At War Core Rules download.

Play It on a Screen

The Starter Kit runs on Vassal, Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia, so you can try the system without printing anything.

The Nations At War Starter Kit is the way into the Nations At War series, and the Print and Play edition costs nothing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Starter Kit DOES NOT include a printed game manual. There is no difference between the Starter Kit provided as a free download and the Printed Edition of the Starter Kit, except that in the Printed Edition, we ship you pre-printed counters and game maps.
