Clash of Steel is a small-scale WWII tabletop wargame created by Battlefront Miniatures. It focuses on quick, objective-based tank battles using simplified rules compared to Flames of War. It’s perfect for newcomers or for experienced players looking for a fast, engaging game with accessible mechanics.

While Flames of War is a full-fledged historical wargame with detailed rules and army lists, Clash of Steel is a lighter version intended for faster play. It focuses more on fun and cinematic action than granular simulation. However, the 15mm miniatures used are the same, meaning your models can be used in either system.

The starter set includes everything two players need to begin: plastic tanks for both Allied and Axis forces, a fold-out playing surface, dice, unit cards, tokens, and a rulebook. It’s designed for plug-and-play gameplay, making it an excellent gateway into historical miniatures gaming.

Yes. Clash of Steel uses the same 15mm plastic kits from the Flames of War line. You can expand your armies using Battlefront’s vast catalog of tanks, infantry, artillery, and terrain. This makes it easy to customize your forces or transition to full-scale Flames of War games later on.

Clash of Steel uses 15mm scale miniatures, the same as Flames of War. This scale strikes a balance between visual detail and tabletop practicality, letting players field multiple tanks and units while still fitting on smaller tables.

Absolutely. The rules are easy to learn, games are quick to play, and the included models are simple to assemble. It's ideal for players new to WWII wargaming or miniature games in general, providing an affordable and fun entry point into the hobby.
