After a successful first Kickstarter earlier this year, I'm excited to bring Command & Defend: Modern War back with even more content.

Over the past months, I've been working on two major expansions:

✈️ Air Wars
🌊 Sea Wars

But that's only part of the journey.

One of my biggest goals has always been to make the game more accessible. That's why I'm introducing a Print & Play Edition, allowing anyone with a home printer to experience the game—no 3D printer required.

At the same time, every step of this campaign brings the project closer to my long-term vision: a complete out-of-the-box retail version with professionally manufactured components. I'm already in contact with several manufacturers and hope to make this vision a reality sooner rather than later.

Every supporter of the current DIY editions helps move the project one step closer to that goal. Your support allows me to improve prototypes, refine production, and make a future retail edition more achievable and affordable.

Inspired by the classic RTS and TBS games many of us grew up with, Command & Defend brings base building, logistics, resource management and tactical combat to the tabletop in a modular strategy system designed for high replayability.

If that sounds interesting, I'd really appreciate your feedback. And if you'd like to follow the project, I'd be happy to share the Kickstarter preview page in the comments.

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who shared feedback, supported the first Kickstarter, or has been following the project from the beginning. Your comments, ideas and encouragement have helped shape Command & Defend into what it is today, and I genuinely couldn't have come this far without you.

Thank you! ❤️

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a strategy board game for the past few years, inspired by the kind of gameplay I always loved in RTS games like Command & Conquer and Advance Wars — especially positioning, resource management, and decision-making under pressure.

Instead of creating a fixed board game, I tried to build it more like a system with flexible setups, different map layouts, and a strong focus on logistics rather than just combat.

I’m launching it tomorrow and would really love to hear your thoughts:

👉 What do you think about this kind of concept?
👉 Does this sound like something you’d enjoy playing?

If anyone is interested, I’m happy to share more details or a link to the campaign.

I’ve been working on a modern war strategy board game over the past few years, and a big part of it is built around 3D printable units and modular components.

The idea was to create a system where players can expand the game over time by printing additional units and game boards (the boards are currently not designed for 3D printing, but it would definitely be possible to create a matching printable version).

I’ve done multiple FDM print tests so far, and they all turned out clean. Most models don’t require support structures, which was an important goal during the design process.

I’d really appreciate some feedback from a 3D printing perspective — especially regarding the overall design and how the models come across visually.

Happy to share more details if anyone’s interested.
