Map

MajorCommand has a variety of hand crafted and tested maps to take the game beyond the classic world map. Select the map you would like to play by clicking on it. Use the black arrows to scroll and see more. You can click the 'zoom' link under each map for a larger view.

Players

You can select the number of players you want to play with, from head to head games with only two players to epic twelve person bouts. Keep in mind the number of players will effect the teams you can use. For exaple, if you are playing tripes, you can only select 6, 9, or 12 players.

Teams

If you are looking for some co-operative play, try teams. You can be on a of two (doubles), a team of three (triples), or a team of four (quads). Non-team games are called singles.

Turn Order

You only have the sequential option for now.

Reserves

Reserves are additional troops you can call up by taking over regions and trading in sets. You get one reserve card per turn if you take over a region. In Flat Rate, all sets of reserves are worth six troops. In Escalate the call up amount increase at the following rate, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30... In Escalaite the call up amount increases as well but slower, in the following, 4,5,6,7,8... More on Reserves.

Reinforcement Allowance

At the end of each of your turns you have the ability to move some troops around. If this is set One or Three you have one or three reinforcement moves. Unlimited is unlimited moves and none is.. no moves.

Reinforcement

This setting affects how you can move your reinforcements. Border means you can only move them across regions that share a border. Path means you can move troops to any region you control so long as you also control the regions in between, forming a path. Anywhere means you can move your troops from any region you control to any other region you control.

Turn Length

This setting sets the pace of the game. You can set it to 24 hour turns which means you have an entire day when its your turn. This means that you can usually take your turns at the same time every day, like 10pm or with morning coffee. 5 min and 2 min games are real time and you only have 5 and 2 minutes per turn.

Privacy

This sets whether you want the game to be public or not. If its public than anyone can join. If its private that it has a password set and only those who know the password can join.
