I loved this game. I have all the expansions also.
I think the pieces are too big for AAA.
It is a complete Tactical game rather than strategy. It has a learning curve but once you master it the game is really fun and engaging. It is supplied with Historical scenarios but there are tools to make your own.
I would recommend if your looking for something new. But it is nothing like AAA.
I did not like it. Too much like A&A minis. I did not find the minis particularly engaging. I did not like having to take the pieces out of the bases. The game like A&A Minis is both too small and too big at the same time.
I liked the tactical aspect of it but it just missed the mark IMO.
The modular map board and terrain elements are top notch though.
I don’t really think the minis are suitable for use on A&A boards, a bit too big.

Yeah I agree on the bases. To much time setting up is wasted on just getting you infantry together.
Anyone play this game? Is it good? The pieces look pretty cool. Can they be used in Axis and allies?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

Print out ILs larger Battle of the Bulge map and use the TOI pieces for it. BotB uses U.S., U.K. and German pieces. You will need to add some aircraft pieces.
Never played it… Where can you get it at?

It has been a while. Try searching Battle of the Bulge on this forum.
No I meant tides of iron. Ive played Bulge before… I played it last week actually :-)

You can look at it on Board Game Geek.
Thanks skinny I looked at the game and it looks pretty cool…
It is a pretty cool game but like others have said it takes a while to set up. The holes in the bases can be a little snug or a little big for the troop pegs so the snug pegs can take a little longer to get into the bases.
