Littoral Commander is a 2-6 player boardgame about current and future potential military conflict in the Indo-Pacific region, a hybrid of standard wargames and card-driven games as players spend action points during their turn to activate cards or move units on the game board. Action points activate stacks (formations) or single units. Ground units have ground and anti-air capabilities, naval units have missile and anti-air capabilities, while air units have strike and anti-air capabilities. LC also features logistics units which are critical for supply since modern forces will run out of ammunition quickly on a battlefield. The game comes with standard scenarios but also has a 'living community' which regularly creates other scenarios and situations to play out as well. The commercial edition includes four different maps covering the presumed hot spots of the western Pacific for the next two decades.
