Description
Cold War Commander 2 is an exciting set of fast play wargame rules that allows you to recreate combined arms operations covering the Cold War and post-Cold War era.
Players each take command of a Battlegroup, which can be anything from a company right up to a division. These rules provide a good balance between play ability and historical accuracy, allowing players to successfully use real-world tactics in a game system that is easy to use and fast to play. The rules are suitable for solo, two-player and multi-player games, at home, at the club, or at a tournament.
Cold War Commander covers the period from the end of the Second World War through until the early 1990’s.

I’ve been a fan of The Commander Series since I first stumbled across Blitzkrieg Commander II.
I just counted the army lists they released THUS FAR. There are FORTY-FIVE army lists at the forum link in the description for this product (see Description tab, above). If you follow that link, and then click on the forum thread about “CWC-2 Army Lists”, you will find those 45 lists on that first page. 🙂
Still need convincing?
The rules cover a 1:1 unit scale, where one vehicle model represents one vehicle, and one stand of infantry equals one squad. However, the rules also cover one model or stand being equal to a platoon. This allows battalion actions and larger, easily. I have played these rules at both scales, and I use either, as needed.
CWCII has become my favorite of The Commander Series. This, right here, is my all-time favorite set of rules.
I can recreate real-world tactics with these rules… without the RULES getting in the way! THAT is why I love these rules.
My sincere thanks to East Front, once again. 🙂
