Battle Commander is a new wargame system whose intent is to replay historical 18th-19th century battles.
It features a fresh framework focused on providing two key play aspects: command decisions and playability. Eventually, the system is planned to expand into other similar eras, such as the American Civil War.
It uses a granular cube-pull activation system for all game phases (player movement, combat, rally, card draws, etc.) and in interactive Combat system using Event cards. No Dice!
There will be six Battles per volume, more or less in chronological order, that'll cover the Napoleonic wars from start to finish. A series about the American Civil War is also in the works.
The package will be done deluxe, with three two-sided mounted map-boards, painted-on wood pieces (no stickers), large scenario set-up cards, a 3D Army mat, and numerous bonus features.
