Bagration: German
In 1944 the war in the east had become critical for the Germans. Determined defence, reinforced with local counterattacks, typified their fighting all along the front. Panzer division ‘fire brigades’ were rushed from one hot spot to another. German Generals such as von Manstein, Hube, and von Saucken showed expert skill holding back the Red Army against overwhelming odds, extracting their forces from encirclement, holding Soviet breakthroughs, and delaying the enemy advance at important bridgeheads. Fighting erupted all along the front as the Soviets launched Operation Bagration. From Narva in the north, through Byelorussia where the Red Army wedge hit the hardest, down to Romania and Hungary, the German fought for every inch of ground.

Command Cards are entirely optional and 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 your lists.

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 Card Previews
As you might expect, the Bagration: Germans have many of the same Command Cards as other nations like Softskin Transport, Lucky, etc. However, you will also find a great variety of cards for Warriors, Unit and Formation builds, as well as cards that enhance a particular part of your Forces capabilities. You will find plenty of flavourful cards as well to give your force a feel all of its own.

As an example, there are a number of different Divisional theme cards. Some do simple things like the 4th Panzer Division Kampfgruppe card that lets you field a Grenadier or Panzergrenadier Platoon instead of an Armoured Panzergrenadier Platoon in a Panther Tank Company or Panzer IV Tank Company. Other modify the ratings like the 16th Panzer Division Rebuilt card which drops their Tactics rating to 4+ for -1 point per Unit. The Kampfgruppe Kästner card allows a Grenadier Company to conduct a night attack in the right circumstances.

There are even cards for making a couple of Waffen-SS options. There is a series of cards for making your armoured troop represent the 3rd and 5th SS-Panzer Divisions, upgrading their motivation to Fearless. For something a little different you can take the 20th SS-Volunteer Grenadier Division 1st Estonian. This card lets you field a Grenadier Company rated Fearless Trained Aggressive with Tactics 3+.
