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 his 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.
Each unit in the game is approximated as either a single Leader, a 5-man Team, or a 10-man Squad. Radios — and individual weapons larger than a pistol, rifle or BAR — are represented by their own counters.
Additional volumes in the Combat Commander series will add new nationalities and locales (Brits in North Africa; Japanese in the Pacific; etc.)

Spreadsheet for calculating results of fire attack
|
A spreadsheet for figuring the possible results of a sustained fire attack on a hex. The results show the odds of each unit ending the attack in one of five states - Good order, Suppressed, Broken, Broken and Suppressed, or Eliminated.
You can select up to five different attacks against up to two leaders and three units. Each attack can be identified as a Radio, Rifle/MG, Mortar/Arty, Flamethrower, Molotov, or Satchel Charge. For each attack you identify the firepower, hindrance, range (needed for ordinance), and where the spotting round is placed (for radio). For radio attacks, the spreadsheet figures the odds of hitting based on the drift of both a hit and a miss. (Radio misses can still end up on target.)
For each unit you specify the base morale, the broken morale, command value (for leaders), and the state it was in when the attack started (Good, Suppressed, Broken, Broken/Suppressed). One type of cover is selected for each attack but it may be modified by adding roads or wire or both.
The calculations take into account command ratings, cover (with the proper modifiers for the type of attack and road), normal and broken morale differences. The order of the attacks matters. Each attack based on the results of previous attacks including such factors as odds of one, both, or none of leaders remaining unbroken and the unit's own broken/suppression status. You can experiment with attack order, fire groups vs individual units firing, or when to use Action cards.
Spreadsheet designed, developed, and unit tested by OldManRick. Permission to used granted to anyone who says, "Damn, that's a good spreadsheet" while using it. Geek Gold tips appreciated.

CC:E Scenario Generator for Windows OS PDA v1.0
|
This is a small, free application I wrote for a Windows based PDA. It generates CC:E random scenarios. It also has a map list editor that allows you to add additional maps to the default game maps. It should be easy to use. You'll need Microsoft's .NET on your PDA. Tested on a Dell AXIM x51 PDA, but should work on most others. I hope you enjoy the program.
