Unofficial Expansion Information
In the not too distant future, with the face of the planet having been ravaged and torn apart by decades of hostilities, the world's top minds have been tasked with creating more devious and devastating ways of waging war. The time for diplomacy has long since passed. The time for advanced warmongering is upon us.
Command Cards
One of the biggest differences from the classic game is the addition of commanders: land, naval, space, nuclear and diplomat. These fill a number of roles with the most basic function being to act as an improved army unit, enabling players to roll eight-sided dice rather than the typical six-sided, but perhaps the most important function of the commanders is allowing the purchase and use of cards or various types.
The addition of these cards, and in particular the addition of the Insurgency Gaming Command Decks, has a huge effect upon the gaming dynamics making no position impregnable and no attack a certainty. With these cards in use, the game is more fluid, with gaming positions and strategies needing to be constantly shifted.
Rule Variations
The Insurgency Gaming cards are designed for use as command cards alongside the original sets provided with the standard game. No additional command tokens are needed as it is suggested that the additional decks be used in place of one of the existing command decks.
If preferred, the Insurgency Gaming Command Decks can be used in conjunction with additional tokens, representative of an additional commander, therefore allowing the use of all original decks as well.
Additional command tokens can me obtained from: (The printed text then names the publisher's website and a copyright line, which are omitted here. "me" is a typo for "be" in the original and is kept as printed.)
Religious Commander
The Religious Commander is the commander card for this set. Its card face is a cross illustration with the title "Religious Commander" and the 2010 Insurgency Gaming copyright line. The photographs show no rules text on the commander card, and none could be read. Its role and abilities are therefore not transcribed. Cards that refer to the Religious Commander ("Holy War", "Religious Influence") are transcribed as printed.
Command Cards
Each card below is a command card. The number shown in the box at the top left of the card is listed as the printed number. Card text is transcribed from the card front. Each card's printed text is given in two parts, the play timing and then the effect, as the card lays them out.

Gaps and Judgment Calls
- The Religious Commander's own card text (its role and abilities) is not legible in the supplied photographs and is not transcribed. The full print-and-play set was not obtainable.
- The photographs show several copies of some command cards. Only one text per title is transcribed, since the copies are identical in the photographs. The total number of copies in the set could not be confirmed.
- Card text is transcribed as printed, including the typos noted above. Nothing has been corrected.
