Thanks to Lonigus for this one – in fact, this article is based specifically on his info.
For those who do not know, World of Tanks Rush is a tabletop card game (as in, real cards, not playing on PC or mobile devices) from the World of Tanks franchise (the name like totally didn’t give that away) and can be played with 2 to 5 players. For the WoT collectors, the box costs like 21 Euro and contains a bonus code for the B2 German premium heavy tank. It can be purchases via the brloh.sk portal, but it is available on other places as well. Czech Republic has a version too, translated to Czech (both versions are localized)
The art seems very nicely done.
Interestingly enough, apart from various guns, the set also contains tanks that are not in World of Tanks (G1R for example)
Is it just me or does this make you want a WOT RTS?
So…..WoT isn’t RTS? Its something else?
I’d say WoT is a FPS. In an RTS you control the whole team, not just one unit.
There technically already is: Order of War.
I say technically because the infantry get wrecked by tanks and the aircraft are just one-time use special powers.
Personally I’d like a WOT themed Warzone 2100…
If you never tried it and can stand late 1990s 3D it’s free at http://www.wz2100.net and definitely worth a shot.
WoT themed Warhammer plox?
I’d rather have good Warhammer 40k RTS (or at least any other game if it will be good). Long time since we had one of those.
Something like Steel Panthers would be nice, but that’s turn-based :)
Codename: Panzers Phase 1 & 2
It’s an old RTS but I still play it from time to time.
There’s also a 3rd name in the series: Codename Panzers: Cold War but I haven’t tried this one.
It would be cool if that studio from US that’s part of WG now is working on something like this.
AFAIK the Codename Panzers serie was developed by a Hungarian software company, and published by… I can’t remember anymore. But really nice games if you are into that genre,
I personally liked the Men of War series as well (and Faces of War before those), really nicely made, detailed RTS.
Actually there is something like that for MoW : http://bit.ly/U5lmgm
If you want real RTstrategy on masive scale go play RUSE
I have it… I tried to play it and I was like: What is this shit?! Codename Panzers is much better imo.
you are comparing two different games i sad on massive scale… But its hard to play it on some level I know, so people rather skip to some CaQ style rts
Like LoL one :D With ultis and skills and towers and stuff :D
Tempted, just for the Pz.B2 code. Selling for $40 on ebay sound right?
PZ. B2 gets into usual Gift Shop every now and then..
Thats overpriced if the shipping isnt counted in it. I bought it for 21 Euros as SS mentioned. Look up some fantasy themed stores around your location or on web that sells cardboard games and card games (magic the gathering, etc…)
Wouldnt mind this …any news on UK release.
I recently bought a B2 code on eBay for $29.99 (Average price on eBay atm). I then mentioned to the buyer he didn’t need to ship it to me, to just send the code through messaging. He then (expectantly) refunded me $12.75 the next day saying that those were the shipping charges. So the final price I paid for the code was $17.24. Not bad, it also came with 7 days of premium and 500 gold.
I have 56 games in it now and a 77% WR. About 20 of those games are platooned with other B2s. It’s an amazingly fun tank, and I definitely recommend purchasing it. It’s worth the money.
Just a few additional notes:
There are two packs of cards (as seen in the first picture). One is only tanks and the other is full of 5 copies each (for the 5 max players) of different tactics, medals, tank class cards (scout, medium, etc…).
The most cards (such a surprise!) have the Soviets followed by (this is a surprise!), the French lol.
Alot of current top tier tanks from the WoT game are missing and I asume there will be aditional packs available in the future. Also Chinese, Japanese and British lines are completely missing.
Cards and the cover structure are nicely done. Quite sturdy and nice on the feel.
I didnt bother to study the game rules coz I have noone to play this with (Cries… T_T).
Iam pretty sure that every decent fantasy themed store that sells board and card games should already have it in stock.
Also as Silent mentioned there are quite a bunch (atleast 20% of the pack) with vehicles that are not included in the game. For example AA guns with a special class mark, Support trucks, different SPGs, troops and yes… A Katyusha aswell (what a shock! :P…)
If you have friends around you that play WoT then this is the ultimate game for some drinking nights to kill some time together. :P
PS: The only T10 tanks in the packs have the Germans (Maus) and French (Batchat)
I rather buy this for just clollections sake. I think people are more interested with the real Pc game then the card game. But hey! Everyone hss there own taste
Collecting purposes for me too, but if you have some irl friends that play WoT too around you then this can be a pretty damn good time killer when you meet up for a game or two :).
Why they made ARL 44 with stock turret? That is just mean…
Poor dog house just never stood a chance
Because noone ever plays with it in the PC game :)
People unlock top turret with freexp right at the start..
So at least, it will have its days of glory in a card game ;)
Why is the M36 the “slugger” not the “Jackson”?
Because they are the same?…The Jackson you see in the game now used to be called Slugger until they added the Hellcat(turreted TD) branch.
Something is missing…
Lags, high ping, server disconnects, campers.
This cant be WoT :D
Now srsly, the game looks good and cards are nicely done also its great chance to get B2 for free somehow, but i think after some time they will remove B2 from this package(WG rulez!)..
go to play world of tanks and RUSH in battle. So that is free WOT rush :)
Haha, I might just buy this to see how small the people are next to each tank.
Is there an official place to buy it? Link would be appreciated.
Are there english instructions and stuff? No point getting a russian version
