Command & Colours: The Great War 1.9.6

HexWar Games has collaborated with Plastic Soldier Company to introduce a digital adaptation of the renowned Commands & Colors: The Great War board game. This offering enables gamers to relive significant conflicts from the history of World War I, in a format that emphasizes historical force deployments and crucial terrain elements characteristic of trench warfare at the time.

The game's scalable nature allows for varying levels of detail across different battles. In some instances, a mere handful of infantry units might symbolize an entire flank in a grander skirmish while, in other scenarios, a single unit could represent a small group of valiant soldiers advancing. With the Command card system governing movement and introducing an element of uncertainty akin to real warfare's "fog of war," players are confronted with a multitude of intriguing strategic choices. Complementing this, the battle dice swiftly and effectively resolve combat encounters.

Introducing Combat cards enhances the suspense and demands that players coordinate their deployment judiciously. The tactical acumen necessary to secure victory mirrors the actual strategies used by diverse WWI units, factoring in their capabilities and constraints, as well as the historical context.
