A New Nation Enters the Fight


For the first time in KARDS, Australian and New Zealand forces take the field as a fully playable minor (ally) nation. ANZAC troops fought across multiple theaters of the Second World War, from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of New Guinea, earning a reputation for resilience, ingenuity, and determination.

Those qualities define the ANZAC roster. Their cards reward positioning and battlefield awareness, unlocking powerful effects based on where units are positioned on the battlefield or where cards sit in your hand. Forecast and Veteran synergies run throughout the nation, creating opportunities that can be as rewarding as they are unpredictable.


The Winds of War


Forecast is the signature keyword of Oceania Storm, bringing the shifting conditions of the Pacific theater directly into battle. When you play a card with Forecast, you choose one of three weather types: Blue Skies, Mist, or Gale. Three weather cards from your chosen type are then presented at random - choose one, and it arrives in your hand at the start of your next turn, ready when the moment calls for it.

Each condition offers a different approach to the battlefield. Blue Skies delivers aggressive offensive tools through Sunny weather. Mist brings Rain, helping you defend, control, and reshape the fight. Gale unleashes Storm, a destructive force capable of disrupting plans and breaking deadlocks.

With 27 spawn-only weather cards available through Forecast, every decision carries both opportunity and uncertainty. Plan ahead, adapt to changing conditions, and turn the forecast to your advantage.


Reinforcements for Every Nation


Oceania Storm expands the arsenal of every nation, introducing new strategies and fresh ways to wage war.

The United States strengthens its infantry tactics and Veteran synergies, with Forecast adding another layer of flexibility to an already formidable force.

Japan leans into self-kredit denial and aggressive air power while finally receiving its long-awaited Research cards through Imperial Research. Alongside Soviet Military Research, the full Research lineup is now complete across all main nations.

The Soviet Union rallies around token generation and Veteran triggers, maintaining relentless pressure across long campaigns while gaining access to Soviet Military Research for the first time.

Britain draws strength from cards beyond the starting deck, versatile utility tools, and heavy bomber support inspired by the grueling Burma campaign and the hard-earned experience of the Forgotten Army.

Germany focuses on extracting maximum value from operating units, rewarding commanders who can maintain steady pressure and efficient battlefield control, with a supporting Veteran theme.

Ally nations France, Italy, Poland, and Finland also receive reinforcements tailored to their established identities, deepening existing synergies and opening new tactical possibilities.
