Combat HQ 2nd Edition presents fun, streamlined rules designed for large-scale world war two battles featuring rapid movement, decisive combat, and exciting decision making. The new edition includes rules for close support units, a faster close assault system, extended artillery rules, and more opportunities to wage war on the battlefield. Rapid Command Pulses and opposed dice rolls keep players constantly involved. Easy-to-play rules emphasize command-and-control decisions over complex combat resolution mechanics. In each Command Pulse you decide how to use your limited command resources: will you use your Command Dice to move up a company of infantry supported by tanks? Or will you use them to rally an anti-tank gun battery? Or maybe you should use them to liaise with your staff officers? The choice is yours. 'Unit Scale: The Platoon is the basic unit in the game and is represented by a model vehicle. Ground Scale: 1” equals 50 yards. Figure Scale: Plays equally well with 2mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm figures. 28mm figures are possible, but a large table is required. —description from the publisher
