The Allies have the fascists on the run in North Africa, but the fight is not over yet. The United States is the newest army to enter the war. They boast some of the best tanks in the world, backed up by well-equipped infantry, either marching to battle on foot or riding in half-tracks, and the latest deadly tank destroyers. Their troops are inexperienced, but they have trained hard and are eager to prove themselves. They will need to learn quickly, as they face a cunning and battle-hardened enemy.

These optional cards include a range of options that can enhance or change your gaming experience by adding new Formations, Upgrades and Warriors, giving you even more choice when building your force. Many Command cards are hidden until they are used, so you’re never quite sure what your opponent’s battle plans are until they are revealed. While hidden, Command cards do not affect their attached unit—a player must reveal them if they wish to gain the benefits of the card. Some Command cards must be revealed at the start of the game; these cards are used to build your army and have the keyword 'Build'.

Command cards can be added to your force in two ways. You can add them to your normal point cost, just as you would add a Unit to your force, or you and your opponent can agree on a set amount of points that each may use just to add Command cards to their lists.

Command Card Previews with Andrew Haught Regulars, By God! This Card along with two other cards (Unity is Strength and Old Ironsides) allow you to bring your Armoured Rifle Formation at a higher skill level. Along with a better skill level these cards make you harder to hit, giving your units a lot more survivability. This comes at a point increase but the options it gives you to have better troops are well worth the investment. Click on the cards for a larger version...

Ranger Platoon This Card lets you field Rangers in your force. I love Rangers; they are really hard hitting and are great in assaults. On the attack this unit can easily dispatch a weakened, defending platoon to secure an objective or set up a forward defensive line that your opponent will be wary to assault. Having a 3+ morale they will be able use the Follow Me order effectively to get the extra movement and still assault.

Charge The Guns! This Card is amazing on Sherman tanks, it gives you some extra movement, and when you fire two shots on the move you can set up some great flanking shots. If there is nothing to flank yet you can also use this card to simply get closer to the objective. And if all that is not enough this card lets you also pass Follow Me orders on a 3+.
