Get ready to relive crucial moments of World War II with Combat Commander: Battle Pack #5 – Fall of the West! This expansion throws you straight into France, Belgium, and Norway between April and June 1940, a frenetic period where every decision counted. Forget monotonous attrition warfare; here, the action is intense, and the scenarios focus on specific, often overlooked, clashes like the daring capture of Fort Eben Emael or the desperate battles for survival at Dunkirk. The pack brings 12 new scenarios printed on cardstock and 10 brand-new maps, detailing real locations for that historical immersion touch. A novelty is the experimental rules for armored vehicles in four scenarios, exploring the early development of tanks in combat against infantry. If you enjoy wargames with a focus on cards, simulation, and a touch of variable powers, this Battle Pack is for you. It expands the experience of Combat Commander: Europe and Mediterranean, adding more depth and challenges for series fans. Adjust your tactics, manage your hand of cards wisely, and face the fall of the West!
