Introducing Littoral Commander: Australia, the definitive expansion to the critically acclaimed "grand tactical" series by Sebastian Bae and the Dietz Foundation. Developed in collaboration with the Australian Army’s Battle Lab, this entry brings the high-stakes world of multi-domain warfare to the southern hemisphere.

The High-Stakes Frontline:

The Indo-Pacific is changing. Will you lead the way, or be swept aside by the tide of modern warfare?

Welcome to the frontline of the 21st century. Littoral Commander: Australia puts you in the boots of a task force commander navigating the complex, lethal waters of the Australian littoral. This isn't just a game of hexes and counters; it’s a game of hide and seek with hypersonic missiles. Leverage the unique capabilities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as you face off against peer adversaries in the "intellectual sandbox" of the year 2030. Utilize Joint Capability Cards to launch cyber-attacks, deploy loitering munitions, and coordinate long-range strikes. In a world where "if you can be seen, you can be killed," do you have the tactical discipline to shoot, scoot, and survive?

From the Publisher: The Dietz Foundation

"At the Dietz Foundation, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between education and play. Littoral Commander: Australia represents the pinnacle of this goal. Built from the ground up alongside the Australian Army’s Battle Lab and experts like Robert Engen and Scott Jenkinson, this expansion is more than a simulation—it is a Professional Military Education (PME) tool.

We have designed this system to be accessible to everyone, from veteran wargamers to those who have never picked up a d6. By focusing on the 'human-in-the-loop' decision-making process rather than tedious number-crunching, we provide a platform for players to explore the complexities of modern joint-force operations, logistics, and the emerging technologies that will define the conflicts of tomorrow."

Boardgamegeneral Advice:

"A Masterclass in Modern Lethality"

If you’re coming from traditional "World War II" style wargames, throw your expectations out the window. Littoral Commander: Australia is a brutal, fast-paced lesson in modern transparency. The Advice: Focus on your C5ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance). In this game, your most powerful weapon isn't a tank or a ship; it’s Information. Use your drones and cyber capabilities to "reveal" the enemy while keeping your own task forces "concealed." The ADF units offer fascinating asymmetrical advantages, but they are fragile. If you leave a Task Force exposed without Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) support, they won't last a single impulse. Master the logistics of resupply early—because when the missiles start flying, you don't want to be caught with an empty magazine.
