What is Combat Commander: Europe
Combat Commander: Europe is a card-driven board game covering tactical infantry combat in the European Theater of World War II. One player takes the role of the Axis (Germany) while another player commands the Allies (America or Russia). These two players will take turns playing one or more “Fate” cards from their hands in order to activate their units on the mapboard for various military functions.
Players attempt to achieve victory by moving their combat units across the game map to attack their opponent’s combat units and occupy as many objectives as possible. The degree to which a player succeeds or fails is measured by a scenario’s specific “Objective” chits, the destruction of enemy units, and the exiting of friendly units off the opponent’s board edge.
A game of Combat Commander is divided into several measures of Game Time. There is no sequence of play to follow, however each Time segment is divided into a variable number of Player Turns, each of which may consist of one or more Fate Card "Orders" conducted by the active player. Fate Card "Actions" may generally be conducted by either player at any time. "Events" — both good and bad — will occur at random intervals to add a bit of chaos and uncertainty to each player’s perfect plan.
SCALE: Each hex of a Combat Commander map is roughly 100 feet of distance (about 30 meters). Each complete Player Phase abstractly represents several seconds of real time. Each complete measure of Game Time abstractly represents several minutes of real time.

Fantastic card driven wargame. Some grognards do not like the luck factor (cards) which may allow a player to walk freely towards the enemy because he does not have any "Fire" cards. But I still love it. (It may represent supply problems or similar) Wargame basado en cartas extraordinario. A algunos wargamer no les gusta el hecho de que el azar de las cartas propicie la posibilidad de que un jugador pueda pasearse tranquilamente con sus tropas en el campo de batalla. Pero a mi no me molesta (puede representar problemas de suministros, por ejemplo)
Normalmente sacrificar realismo, por jugabilidad estropea los wargames, más si es uno táctico. Pero en el caso del CC:E no es así, el juego sigue siendo tenso, lleno de decisiones de siytaciones tácticamente interesantes. A veces demasiado caótico, como un campo de batalla. Normally sacrifice realism to playability spoils many wargames, more if it is a tactical one. But in case of the CC:E it is not like that, the game continues being tense, full of decisions and tactically interesting situations. Sometimes too chaotic, as a battlefield.
Sencillo y a la vez impresionante wargame táctico con motor de cartas. Tiene ciertos elementos que priman la jugabilidad y entretenimiento.
