Combat Tiers bring a new dimension to tabletop gaming scenarios where height and distance are needed. Eliminating guesswork, Combat Tiers place any size miniatures at the exact height and distance needed to determine where combatants are during your battle scenarios.
Made from durable acrylic, Combat Tiers are designed to easily engage your gaming experience. The transparent material will not obscure the gaming environment. Multi-tier possibilities allow you to create various heights, while the large staging platforms allow the players to place multiple figures in simulated flight or combat, keeping everything sturdy and precise. Combat Tiers are gauged in one inch increments both on the prominent staging platforms and on the supporting columns, so ranges can be easily determined at a glance. With additional extensions, your figures can soar to even higher heights. No longer are ranges reduced to estimations—know exactly how the battle unfolds!
Combat Tiers can simulate many environments—use them to gauge underwater and space environments in addition to flight. For military enthusiasts, planes come alive during raids and strafing runs, and ships and submarines enjoy a new level of silent running as altitudes and depths take on a whole new gaming dimension.
Combat Tiers truly invigorate all your combat gaming situations.
Ok, I bought these expecting FAR less. I was not expecting the hardy construction, good holding joints, and in the family pack, sincerely insane combos you can manage to create. They have been on my table for a single session in low (below level 5) play and already we have found use for them, in this case helping as range finders for a height related shot dealing with cliffs...
I am VERY impressed with this product and highly suggest it to any GM or player out there who has in his group, or runs in a game, a flying character, or dragons. Dragon encounters with these are going to be EPIC... In fact the group is SO excited by the concept we are going to run a one shot dragon fight next week using retired PC characters.
Here's to game products that bring old characters out of retirement.
I bought these specifically for a Gnome Wind Oracle that I have going in the Crimson Throne Campaign and these tiers paid for themselves in the first day of using them. Just like the description says, no more guess work in Underwater / Aerial Battles. Got saved from a couple Fireballs because we could accurately gauge the sphere's radius. These will be definitely be coming to every game session here on out.
Thanks Paizo / Tinkered Tactics for another Great Product !!! Keep 'em Coming !!!
We always have people flying in our games, and we have tried putting mini's on dice or overturned cups. These tiers are awesome you can see through them, they have a grid on them. they are adjustable to different sizes. These are awesome.
I also recently used them to set up a big battle for a tiered villain base. they are so versatile. I highly suggest you order them here, or if you are in the Los Angeles area you can buy them from the source at emerald knight comics and games in burbank, ca and you can meet the creator Julian, like i did.
I picked up a family pack of these at paizocon 09 and was extremely happy with them.
They are sturdy, versatile and great for higher terrain, flight, swimming, climbing or even laying out small multilevel areas like houses or ships.
I play a pretty miniatures intense game and paint about half the figures we use, I feel comfortable putting figs I have slaved over for hours on the tiers.
Since purchasing these there has not been a game that has gone by where we didn't put them to use in some fashion.

I picked these up over the holiday season. Much nicer than I was expecting. Very well engineered, sturdy, and snap together and apart easily. I've used them during at least half of my sessions since I got them, for fliers, air walkers, balcony fights, and more.
I recommend the family pack - having two full sets of tiers is quite useful. You'll pay less than the cost of two full sets for everything they offer plus extra extensions. I frequently have both sets in play, sometimes just with top and bottom platforms, sometimes with the middle layer as well.
I have to admit we don't use the extensions terribly much. We just write the altitude next to the figure. Snapping apart to change height is a hassle, so we just put together a good estimated height and use that the whole encounter.
If have lots of flight in your games, you need a set today!
Combat Tiers Family Pack - 5 Stars!!! Simply Fantastic!
My family pack of Combat Tiers, by Tinkered Tactics, arrived recently. They were packed safely for shipping from PAIZO, and were easy to assemble. They are designed with ease of usability in mind. As a gamemaster for over 25 years, it is a joy to have this well-engineered system of 3D combat tiers after all these years. The pieces are made of durable plastic and assemble quickly and easily. Each 5 and 10 foot increment is readily seen, and thin black lines provide quick height assessment at-a-glance. The base is sturdy enough to hold several tier platforms above it, along with combat miniatures. The strong but clear plastic material also manages to fade into the background for a stunning visual appearance of whatever is flying or hovering above.
I recommend getting the Combat Tiers Family Pack. I rate this product with the highest available rating. Its modular design enables the gamemaster to adjust any combat, round-by-round if needed, quickly and effectively for brilliant "realism" at the fantasy game table. Worth every cent of the investment. Built-in grids make movement and aerial combat easy, elegant and fun.
