About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already hooked on the adrenaline rush of Combat Commander: Europe, get ready to expand your battlefield! Combat Commander: Mediterranean (CC:M) arrives to supercharge the experience, bringing three new factions to the front: Great Britain & Commonwealth, France & Allied Minors, and Italy & Axis Minors. Each of these new nations comes with its own 72-card Fate Deck, reflecting their unique historical strengths and weaknesses. Think of the British with their sharp marksmanship, the Italians with a higher chance of surrender when things get tough, or the French with quality orders and events, but with a limited discard capability.
In addition to new units and cards, CC:M adds 12 brand-new scenarios, many exploring the fighting from 1939 and 1940. And for those who love replayability, the random scenario generator has been updated to include these new nations and maps, promising an almost endless variety of combat situations. The game also offers a complete manifest of all Fate Cards from both volumes I and II, plus point values for all units and equipment, making it easier to create your own scenarios. But be warned: CC:M is not a standalone game; it REQUIRES Combat Commander: Europe to play. If you're looking for more depth and variety for your World War II battles, this expansion is a must-have!
