To play Field Commander: Rommel, first pick a campaign from the three available - France 1940, North Africa 1941, or D - Day 1944. Set up the game using the full - color campaign map, counters, die, and the campaign log sheet as described in the rulebook. Use the 'Battle Plan' and 'Operation Plan' chits to manage the Allied movement, combat, and reinforcements. You can adjust the difficulty of each campaign by choosing different historical options. As your units win battles, their stats will increase. Remember to note these changes on the campaign log sheet. When a unit's stats change, it will affect how it performs in later battles and its movement. If you want to play with the 'Career' rules, keep track of the outcome of each campaign as it will impact the start of the next one. Each campaign takes around 2 hours, so plan your time accordingly. Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to prevent damage. If you have any questions while playing, refer back to the rulebook. Enjoy leading General Rommel's forces to victory!
