What's new at Black Lion 14th June
New in this week are some exciting products and some highly anticipated ones at that.
Tide of Iron (£50)
June 6th, 1944. “The longest day” was but the opening salvo for the Allied

occupied countries of western Europe; and ultimately subdue the threat from
Germany and the Nazi regime. TIDE OF IRON is an epic game of World War II tactical conflict for two to four players. The components in this base game allow players to simulate the dramatic struggle that took place between American and German forces in Northern Europe during the years 1944 and 1945.

In a vast, fantastic world known as Creation, a dynastic empire called the Realm stood for hundreds of years, presided over by the powerful and cunning Scarlet Empress. She reigned with absolute authority until the day she mysteriously disappeared, leaving a legacy of ruin. Before long suitors to the throne dared make their bid for power. You are one of the contenders for the Scarlet Throne: a
Dragon-Blooded who has amassed the vast armies, fortunes and magic necessary to seize your destiny. You seek to claim dominions and raise war manses, building
power until you have the lore and strength to claim the Imperial Manse for youown. Exalted: War of the Throne is a strategy board game for two to five players set in the world of Exalted. Players amass legions, coin and essence, and bring all of their allies, will and luck to bear to claim the seat of power and become the new
