Combat HQ2.5 Edition

Combat HQ 2.5 Edition presents fun, streamlined rules designed for large-scale World War Two battles featuring rapid movement, decisive combat, and exciting decision making.

The revised edition adds new missions featuring Soviet Guards versus German Grenadiers.

Rapid Command Pulses and opposed dice rolls keep players constantly involved. Easy-to-play rules emphasize command-and-control decisions over complex combat resolution mechanics.

In each Command Pulse you decide how to use your limited command resources: will you use your Command Dice to move up a company of infantry supported by tanks? Or will you use them to rally an anti-tank gun battery? Or maybe you should use them to liaise with your staff officers? The choice is yours.

  • Game Length: 2–4 hours.
  • Unit Scale: The Platoon is the basic unit in the game and is represented by a model vehicle, a base with three infantry figures, a heavy weapons team, or a gun and its crew.
  • Ground Scale: 1” equals 50 yards.
  • Figure Scale: Plays equally well with 2mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm or 20mm figures.
