## Description
Get ready to dive even deeper into the chaos of World War II with Combat Commander: Resistance! This expansion supercharges the Europe and Mediterranean base games, shining a spotlight on guerrilla warfare and the daring actions of partisans behind enemy lines. Forget traditional battlefronts; here, you'll command the resistance, orchestrating surprise attacks and sabotage that will keep the Axis forces on their toes. 

CC:R introduces brand-new rules for this type of combat: how to handle 'irregular warfare,' chaotic melee fights, sewer tactics, and even the importance of spotting markers. New orders like 'Infiltrate' and 'Muster' allow your fighters to move in the shadows, while actions like 'Knife,' 'No Quarter,' and 'Trap' add a touch of brutality and cunning. To top it off, new events like 'Inexperience,' 'Patriotism,' and 'Stealth' inject more unpredictability and historical flavor into every game. 

The package is packed with 3 double-sided game maps, showcasing crucial historical locations in Greece, Bosnia, and Belarus, plus 12 unique scenarios. Prepare to relive tense moments like the ambush in Rouen, the fight for the Gorgopotamos Bridge, or the showdown in the Drvar cemetery. If you already enjoy the tactical, card-driven feel of Combat Commander, Resistance! is the perfect addition to expand your campaigns and delve into a less-explored side of the war. Remember: this is an expansion pack, so the base games are essential to play!
