One
of the
biggest
differences
from the
classic
game is
the addition
of commanders:
land,
naval,
space,
nuclear,
and diplomat.These
fill a
number
of roles
with the
most basic
function
being
to act
as an
improved
army unit,enabling
players
to roll
eight-sided
dice rather
than the
typical
six-sided,
but perhaps
the most
important
function
of the
commanders
is allowing
the purchase
and use
of cards
of various
types.
The addition
of these
cards
has a
huge effect
upon the
gaming
dynamics.
With the
addition
of these
cards
the board
is opened
up making
no position
impregnable
and no
attack
a certainty.
With these
cards
in use,
the game
is more
fluid,
with gaming
positions
and strategies
needing
to be
constantly
shifted.
We
now have
seven
expansion
decks:
The Advanced
Tech,
Terror
Tactics,
Aerial
Assault,
A
Call To
Arms
and
A
Call To
Arms
- Celestial
Dawn
command
decks,
a Mission
Pack
and the
Day
Of The
Dead
Universal
