Commands & Colors

Commands & Colors is card-driven battle. Experts play cards for battle back, exploit terrain for defense, and target weakened flanks.

Quick winning principles

  • Battle back: defender attacks if they survive.
  • Terrain: hills reduce damage.
  • Play card matching section with most units.
  • Weakened flank: attack where opponent has fewest blocks.

Ideal strategy

  1. 1

    Battle back exploitation: leave 1 block to survive and battle back—2 damage for 1 block trade.

  2. 2

    Terrain lines: hills and towns give defense; hold terrain with few blocks.

  3. 3

    Card-section matching: play left card when left flank has 4+ units—maximizes activation.

  4. 4

    Weakened flank: attack flank with 2 blocks; don't attack 4-block center.

  5. 5

    Leadership: leadership card adds to all battles that turn—play when 2+ battles.

  6. 6

    Endgame: when opponent has 2 flags, attack aggressively—flags win, not block preservation.
