Fistful of T-34s 2025

Fistful of T-34s is a free battalion level World War II game written by Ty Beard & Paul Minson.

It is a 4-page, introductory version of their full game, Fistful of TOWS 3. We've partnered with the original authors to refresh their free introductory version with a new graphic design, linked scenarios, and video tutorials to get you started in World War II wargaming for zero dollars.

The game can be played with any scale miniatures on round, square, or rectangular bases. Gameplay requires only a few six-sided dice(d6s), tape measures, and a variety of colored tokens or markers to indicate statuses such as Suppressed, Overwatch, etc.

A turn represents about 15 minutes and 1” represents about 100 meters. A stand of miniatures is a platoon of infantry or vehicles.
