The Game

Blitzkrieg Commander 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 28mm (including 6mm, 1/285, 10mm, 12mm, N Scale, 15mm and 20mm) and no re-basing required.

The rules come as a 120-page A4-sized perfect bound book with over 50 full colour 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 a double-sided A4-sized quick reference sheet.

This is the 3nd printing of the game (dated 2006), released on 22nd January 2007 and contains the ammendments from the 2nd Print Errata, plus an updated FAQ, both available from the Downloads area of the site. The ammendments are a handful of stat changes to the army lists, so nothing major.
