It's here!

The latest addition to the Commander Series family of rules, Future War Commander 2 is now available for pre-order!  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.

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. 

Full support will be available through our Forum, with further lists for all of our ranges, Optional Rules, a QRS and more, all as free downloads.

Head over and pre-order your copy now, ready to ship out on Friday 30th January!

It's all happening- do I need to stay up late to see what else Leon has up his sleeves?

Well done on getting FWC2 finished!

Excellent, I've tried to 'up my game' a little with the design/layout of this one. The cover art from my graphics guy is really nice too.
