G.I. Commander 1939-1945 (1984)

G.I. Commander was designed primarily for use with microscale (1:285/1:300) models, but with the minor modifications indicated in the rules, it can be used with HO scale equipment. It can even be used with board game equipment.

The heart of the game lies in the data section. Here you will find information in detail unmatched anywhere […] But G.I. Commander is much more than just a collection of data. The rules have been designed, tested and revised to produce a game that is as playable as it is accurate. Wherever possible, bookkeeping has been eliminated, and you will find that your main struggle is with your opponent, not with the procedures!

Here, condensed in one book, is more information than is normally found in more expensive volumes. With G.I. Commander, you can experience all the dynamic and multifaceted possibilities of World War II, from Normandy to New Guinea, Archangel to Alamein.
