Combat Commander: Resistance!

About this expansion

Combat Commander: Resistance! is a two-player wargame expansion for 120-minute sessions, adding partisan forces and their war behind the front lines to Combat Commander: Europe and Combat Commander: Mediterranean.

This fourth volume of the Combat Commander series introduces special rules and components for fighting with Partisan forces against the Axis nations of Europe. The updated playbook defines the Partisan faction, including its unit structure, statistics, and weapons, while adding new ways to shape each battle.

• New rules: Irregular Melee, Sewers, and Sighting Markers
• New orders: Infiltrate and Muster
• New actions: Knife, No Quarter, and Trap
• New events: Inexperience, Patriotism, and Stealth
• Random Scenario Generator update: Partisan Leader Table and Fortification OB

The expansion includes six maps, twelve scenarios, a counter sheet, a 36-card Partisan Fate Deck, and a 19-card Partisan Force Deck. Its maps depict historical locations in Greece, Hercegovina, Eastern Bosnia, Byelorussia, Croatia, and Western Bosnia.

The scenarios cover ambushes, raids, escapes, bridge operations, and desperate rear-area engagements. Fight through settings including the Bryansk Forest, the Gorgopotamos Bridge near Lamia, the Neretva River, the island of Korčula, and the town cemetery outside Drvar, with battles involving FFI, ELAS, and Soviet Partisan forces alongside German, Italian, Croatian, Chetnik, and SS formations.

Combat Commander: Resistance! also includes new versions of two previously published scenarios: Bessarabian Nights II and Compagnie Scamaroni II. This is not a complete game: ownership of both Combat Commander: Europe and Combat Commander: Mediterranean is required to play.
