Wargames

Blitzkrieg Commander (Spanish Civil War and World War Two, 1936-45), Cold War Commander (Modern, 1946+) and Future War Commander (The Future) are fast-play wargame rules that allow you to re-create combined-arms battles from the Second World War through to the present day and well into the future, 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 miniatures from 2mm right up to 28mm (including 3mm, 6mm, 1/285 scale, 10mm, 12mm, N gauge, 15mm and 20mm) and no re-basing is required.
