Combat Commander Europa

Combat Commander Europa

Combat Commander: Europa is a card-based board game that covers infantry tactical combat in the European Theater of World War II. One player takes on the role of the Axis (Germany) while the other player commands the Allies (United States or Russia). These two players will take turns playing one or more "Fate" cards from their hands to activate their units on the map for various military functions.

Players strive to achieve victory by moving their combat units around the game map to attack their opponent's combat units and occupy as many objectives as possible. The degree to which a player succeeds or fails is measured by specific "Objective" tokens for a scenario, the destruction of enemy units, and the exit of friendly units from the opponent's board edge.

A game of Combat Commander is divided into several measures of game time. However, there is no sequence of play to follow: each time segment is divided into a variable number of player turns, each of which may consist of one or more "Orders" of Fate cards made by the active player. The "Actions" of Fate Cards can generally be performed by any player at any time. "Events," both good and bad, will occur at random intervals to add some chaos and uncertainty to each player's perfect plan.

Each unit in the game is approached as a single leader, a team of 5 men, or a squad of 10 men. Radios, and individual weapons larger than a pistol, rifle, or BAR, are represented by their own counters.
