Help Arrives! The new game in War Storm Series

Help Arrives! is a tactical strategy game, the fifth in the War Storm Series (WSS), covering the Spanish Civil War and the international units that participated in the conflict: CTV, international brigades, the Condor Legion and Soviet aid and much more. The game is now available on Kickstarter.



From a military point of view, the Spanish Civil War presaged the global conflict which would soon erupt. In the mid-1930s, military high commands from all over the globe theorized on the possibilities of motorized armies and “lightning war”. Both Nazis and Soviets rehearsed armored tactics in Spain, and tested various types of weapons. In addition, the importance that air superiority would have on all later conflicts was made clear. All of these elements make the Spanish Civil War a fascinating conflict from an historical point of view and with regard to military strategy.

Help Arrives! (HA) is a stand-alone game in the War Storms series 100% compatible with A las Barricadas! although this is not a new edition of that game: it includes different units, different scenarios and new rules and some of these scenarios are organised into Campaigns: Madrid, Guadalajara and the Ebro, among others.

The game includes the updated version 2.1 of the standard rules of the WSS system.
