Squad Leader

Command small infantry units in tactical World War II engagements across European terrain. Players direct individual squads, leaders, support weapons, and vehicles on a hex map (each hex ≈40 meters), resolving movement, fire, morale, and special actions through an eight‑phase turn structure representing two minutes of combat. Rules cover a wide range of infantry-era systems: machineguns, mortars, anti‑tank guns, flamethrowers, demolition, smoke, wire, mines, bunkers, multi‑story buildings, rubble, night and sewer movement, off‑board artillery, and leadership effects. A programmed sequence of scenarios introduces mechanics progressively, with campaign and scenario‑design options for creating extended or custom engagements.
