World At War 85: Blood and Fury

The Cold War Turns Hot

World At War 85 Blood and Fury drops you into a full-scale NATO versus Warsaw Pact conflict set in an alternate 1985. This is platoon and company-level combat focused on modern armored warfare, air mobile operations, and combined arms tactics. You command tanks, mechanized infantry, attack helicopters, and artillery across detailed hex maps that represent the battlefields of Central Europe.

Blood and Fury is a complete standalone game in the World At War 85 series. You play it on its own or combine it with World At War 85: Storming the Gap for larger, linked operations and expanded campaigns.

What This Game Delivers

• Standalone or expandable system
Play as a complete game out of the box. Merge with other World At War 85 titles for larger battles and extended campaigns.

• Platoon-level command
You control individual tank platoons, mechanized infantry, reconnaissance units, artillery batteries, and helicopter assets. Every decision matters.

• NATO and Warsaw Pact forces
Lead U.S., West German, and British formations against Soviet and East German units. Each nation brings distinct equipment, doctrine, and tactical strengths.

• Fog of war and command pressure
Hidden units, formation activation, and command friction force you to plan carefully. You react to battlefield surprises instead of following a script.

• Solo and head-to-head play
Face an opponent across the table or use the built-in solitaire system to manage enemy reactions and battlefield priorities.

• Streamlined modern warfare rules
The system focuses on armor penetration, range bands, suppression, morale, artillery effects, and air support without slowing the pace of play.
