Chain of Command
Miniatures wargame rules for World War II platoon-level actions with optional support elements. Players command platoons using a command-and-control system that simulates the decisions and limitations faced by historical leaders, resolving movement, fire, morale and support calls through fast-playing scenarios and routines. The 104-page rulebook provides core rules, a scenario-generation system, army lists for Britain, Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union, and mechanics for selecting and integrating support assets to create balanced matched forces.
