Command Decision: Test of Battle
Battalion-level miniature rules for World War II combat. Each stand represents a platoon, and each turn covers 30 minutes. Most models remain on the table, with some serving as phantom dummies, while one or two command reserve stands may enter during play. Movement is resolved sequentially, spotting is deterministic, stands are eliminated with one hit, and high-explosive fire always suppresses. The rules include organization and equipment tables for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia, along with 12 historical scenarios, random event cards, and a campaign scenario generator.
