Modern Portuguese
Portuguese Army List for Cold War Commander
By Steven Thomas on 23 Mar 2012 | Last Updated 20 Aug 2013
Iâm thinking of using Cold War Commander for the Portuguese Colonial War but the rules donât have a Portuguese Army List. So I wrote my own. It is based on my Portuguese Order of Battle. Iâve adopted the updated army list format of Blitzkrieg Commander (2009) with AT and AP being separate and a CA column.
