The Commander’s Toolkit expands DANGER CLOSE with everything you need to build, plan, and personalize your own missions and campaigns.

Whereas the core rules aim to be concise and compact, the Commander’s Toolkit goes wild with ideas and ways to play.

It turns the base rules into a flexible wargame sandbox, giving structure to operations, fronts, and ongoing wars, while keeping the same focus on fast, dramatic play.

Inside you’ll find:

• Expanded Play Structures: Tools for linking missions into Operations, Campaigns, and full-scale wars, from small-unit raids to planetary sieges.
• Hex Map & Frontline Systems: Methods for mapping open battlefields, shifting territorial control, and tracking progress over time.
• Environmental Rules: Weather conditions, atmospheric hazards, and airspace control, all designed to add texture without complexity.
• Mission Creation Tools: Dozens of ready-to-play sample missions, terrain templates, and Hard Targets to drop into your own scenarios.
• Narrative Additions: “Between the Bullets” prompts that bring personality and human moments to your squad between engagements.
• Support Staff & Assets: Commanding Officers, Evac Pilots, and Air Support options that reinforce the sense of fighting as part of a larger war.

The Toolkit will be expanded upon over time. The current release is v0.2; the rough first draft. Purchasing the Toolkit will give continuous access to future tiers.
