For those unfamiliar with the first edition, Future War Commander 2 is a set of miniature wargame rules allowing you to play combined-arms games to represent futuristic and science fiction based battles. Each player takes charge of a Battlegroup, which could be anything from a platoon right up to a division. The rules attempt to anticipate the warfare of the future to provide a game that is playable, easy to use and fast to play, based on sound military principles that have been projected into a believable future. Games can be played solo, one-on-one or with multiple players. You can use any scale of miniatures to play the game, from 2mm right up to 28mm. Your miniatures can be based or unbased as this makes no difference when playing the game. One stand of figures represents an infantry squad and one model represents one item in real-life, whether that be an armoured fighting vehicle, a dropship or a Massive walker. Alternatively, one stand of miniatures can represent a platoon when playing at a higher level of command. So whether you want to fight it out in a galaxy far, far away, or take control of the vital compounds on a desert planet, Future War Commander contains everything you need. The book also includes 17 scenarios for you to try, as well as two example army lists.
