Battle Hymn
Command a squad of U.S. Marines in solo operations across Pacific World War II scenarios. Players assemble and equip a small fireteam, pick a mission, and advance through terrain while resolving programmed-paragraph events that present surprises and changing enemy behavior. Combat, movement, and tactical choices drive each encounter as triggers and Event paragraphs introduce ambushes, reinforcements, and story beats. Rules are streamlined for solo play, letting players learn quickly and run successive missions with varied outcomes and evolving challenges.
