Command Decision is the WW2 game Over the Top is the WW I game and
Combined
Arms is the late cold war/modern version It was designed to play about
as
fast as a real time battle with a turn on the floor taking up about 15
minutes of combat turn and hopefully (with those experienced slightly
with
the rules) the turn would take about fifteen minutes to play out on the
real-time clock. Units were equal to platoons or batteries a tank = four
tanks an infantry stand roughly 30 men. Good system well-supported until
GDW
died and it still has fine internet support from the designer Frank
Chadwick
Command Decision is out under the Calsh of Arms masthead these days.
