Blood & Iron: Battle-ready decks

With the latest KARDS expansion Blood & Iron we will take a look at our new battle ready decks that will accompany the expansions. The battle ready Decks will offer players a chance to go straight into battle with Blood and Iron.

The battle ready decks are hand-built by our designers and this time will come in two categories, 200 diamonds and 350 diamonds.

TANK YOU VERY MUCH

Major power Soviet with Germany as allies

How many tanks do you need? If your answer is Yes, then this is the deck for you! Flood the board with tanks, especially endless hoards of T-34s. You have various toys to get extra value out of your tanks, like 12th GUARDS MECHANISED providing draw, 57th RIFLES pitting your T-34s against enemy units, and the trusted 214th AMUR orchestrating things in the back. Your enemy will be hard put dealing with all your threats, as your mechanised army rolls forward inexorably.

HIGH MAINTENANCE

Major power USA with France as allies

 Having to pay 3 or more kredits to operate your units may seem like a major downside, but in this deck it is turned into an upside. Whether it is growing in strength with 1st CAVALRY TROOP, drawing a card with LES TERRIBLES or improving the defenses of your HQ with 8e TIRAILLEURS MAROCAINS, your will quickly shoot ahead with all the synergy found here. And then you can quickly turn your ponderous units into an overwhelming force through PONTOON BRIDGE and BOLSTER THE RANKS for the final VICTORY MARCH.

I WILL SURVIVE

Major power Britain with Poland as allies

 Your deck is full of units that grow stronger through adversity, with plenty of ways to help them survive, like ENTANGLEMENT, STUBBORN DEFENSE and THE RANGERS. This makes it a nightmare for your enemy to figure out when and where to strike, compounded with cards like 70th BRIGADE, 1st GRENADIER REGIMENT and ECHELON, which can punish any wrong moves. Your Polish ally excels at surviving scraps on the battlefield. And when you manage to live another day, that gives you another day to defeat your enemy.

SHOCK THERAPY

Major power Japan with Soviets as allies

 Your cheap Shock units  like 9th INFANTRY REGIMENT, 77th REGIMENT and 654th RIFLES can often trade 2 for 1, giving you card advantage in the late game to take over and win through a combination of big removal and big units. Your Soviet ally complements your strategy with additional Shock units before helping close out the game with big threats.

READY 4 ATTACK

Major power Germany with Italy as allies

 Go big with beefy units. Cards like FELDHERRNHALLE RIFLES and PANZER IV-H give benefits from or to you playing big units. Duke it out with enemy units in the early game until you can take it over with LEOPOLD or the fearsome MAUS. Your Italian allies add strong units to the mix, with 49th INFANTRY REGIMENT helping to keep you alive and SPRING OFFENSIVE ready to replenish your hand.
