Combat Commander
A World War 2 squad level hex and counter wargame. This game is card driven, meaning players have a deck of cards (unique to their nation) which they draw from and play throughout the game in order to issue commands to their squads.
The game comes in two ‘parts’ – The first part “Europe” contains the US, German and Russian forces while the “Mediterranean” expansion comes with French, Italian and British forces.
Other smaller expansions are also available for the game.
