Description Edit | History

BlitzkriegCommander is an exciting wargame that allows you to re-create battles of the Second World War and Spanish Civil War using miniatures on a tabletop. Command anything from a company right up to a division and get a result in 2-3 hours without becoming bogged-down in detail. Suitable for any scale miniatures from 2mm right up to 20mm and no re-basing required.

The rules come as a 120-page A4-sized perfect bound book with over 50 full color pictures that illustrate how to play the game. These feature real miniatures as you see them on the gaming table not diagrams that belong in a physics textbook! You also get two double-sided A4-sized quick reference sheets - one for each player.

The main features of the game include:

  • Command system that emphasizes the fog of war in a simple but effective manner.
  • The same mechanism for casualty resolution throughout.
  • Rules for infantry, tanks, recce, artillery, aircraft, engineers, fortifications & weather.
  • Flexible figure ratio meaning a base of infantry represents either a section or a platoon
  • Minimal set-up time - simply assemble your forces and play.
  • Unique points system that allows for unequal forces but an equal chance of victory.
  • 43 well-presented army lists for 18 nations covering 15 theatres of war.
  • 15 generic scenarios suitable for any nation & theatre plus a simple campaign system.
  • Suitable for solo, 2-player & multi-player games at home, club, or tournament.
  • Two double-sided quick reference sheets included - one for each player.
  • No supplements - all you need to play in one book.
