Combat! Volume 2: An Expansion for Combat!

About this expansion

Combat! Volume 2: An Expansion for Combat! is a one-player World War II campaign expansion with an approximately 360-minute play time. It requires the base game Combat! and follows your squad from D-Day to V-E Day.

This expansion adds new tactical challenges and battlefield features, including elite SS enemies, weather variations, mud and snow ground conditions, artillery-started fires, vehicles, and light anti-tank weapons. New equipment includes the STG44, Thompson sub-machine gun, M-2 HMG, Springfield M-1903, Bazooka, and Panzerfaust.

• Play 12 new stand-alone scenarios.
• Use a third American squad and command elements for multi-player Platoon Actions in the base game.
• Deploy trained medics, vehicles, and new weapons.
• Experience rain, snow, mist, mud, and battlefield fires.

The fully structured campaign lets you name your soldiers and follow their changing fortunes across the war. Characters gain skills and experience, earn medals, develop rivalries within the squad, and form foxhole friendships that can become inseparable during missions. Events may include illness, arguments, replacements, U.S.O. entertainment, and visits to Paris.

The campaign is divided among six possible chapters: Normandy, Pursuit, Hurtgen Forest, The Bulge, The Siegfried Line, and Germany. Events determine which chapters are played, so one campaign may send your squad to the Ardennes while another leads into the Hurtgen Forest.

During each campaign, you undertake missions and patrols using chapter-specific tables, with 100 different missions and 10 different patrols in each chapter. With seven campaign scenarios and a changing sequence of events, Combat! Volume 2 creates a distinct squad story in every campaign.
