Historical background
The Command and Colours - Opening Action scenarios 1 and 2 are non-historical battles, expressly designed to gradually introduce you and a friend to the basics of WWI trench warfare. Scenario 1 features the different WWI units and trenches, while Scenario 2 adds No-Man’s-Land shelling, wire and additional victory objectives.
The following format is used for all Command and Colours scenarios:
- A brief recap of the battle (usually found in this section).
- Scenario map, with terrain tiles, and units positioned on the battlefield.
- Starting Assets for each Army including: Command Cards, Combat Cards, HQ Tokens, Reserve Artillery Strength, First Player.
- Scenario Notes: Victory and any Special Rules.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
