Littoral Commander: The Baltic is the second installment of the Littoral Commander series. The game explores hypothetical conflicts and crises in the Baltic region of Europe. Building on the core Littoral Commander game system, Littoral Commander: The Baltic features new units, such as the Amphibious Ready Group / Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG MEU), the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), and various types of Russian regiments. Littoral Commander: The Baltic features new mechanics for ground combat, new cards, and amphibious operations. One of the new core mechanics will require players to outfit their ships for a campaign -- carefully managing resources and space, but the emphasis on managing all aspects of battle, especially logistics will remain. —description from the publisher
