Command & Colors: Medieval (2nd Edition)

Players use command cards to activate units across different sections of the battlefield, while combat is resolved with dice. The system is easy to learn but rewards good positioning, timing, and adapting to the situation as it develops.

This edition introduces several mechanics specific to medieval warfare, including heavier cavalry formations, improved armor effects, and abilities such as the Parthian Shot for light cavalry. These additions give the game a distinct feel compared to other Command & Colors titles while keeping the core system familiar.

The included scenarios cover battles between the Byzantines and Sassanid Persians, along with engagements involving Moorish forces. Each scenario presents a different tactical situation, reflecting terrain, troop types, and historical deployment.

Command & Colors: Medieval is a good entry point into the system for players interested in early medieval warfare, while also offering enough variation to keep experienced Command & Colors players engaged.

Contents include: mounted map board, wooden blocks and labels, command cards, dice, rulebook, and scenario book.
