📖 About This Game

Cold War Commander is a wargame that allows you to re-create battles from the First Indo-China War right up to the present day using miniatures on a tabletop. Command anything from a company right up to a division and get a result in 2-3 hours. Suitable for any scale miniatures from 2mm right up to 28mm and no re-basing required. The rules come as a 140-page A4-sized bound book with over 60 full color pictures. These feature real miniatures as you see them on the gaming table.

Flexible figure ratio meaning a base of infantry represents either a section or a platoon. Minimal set-up time - simply assemble your forces and play. Unique points system that allows for unequal forces but an equal chance of victory. 33 well-presented army lists for 28 nations covering 12 conflicts. 16 generic scenarios suitable for any nation & theater plus a simple campaign system.
