'Command Decision' is the WWII, there was also 'Combined Arms' which was
the modern period version. GDW's American Civil War rules also used the
same game engine (the name escapes me at the moment) and there was also
a
WWI version, called 'Over the Top'. I think 'Command Decision 2'
combined
'Command Decision' and 'Combined Arms' to provide a rules set covering
the
period from about 1920 -2000, but the current edition 'Command Decision
3'
dropped the modern period and cuts out about 1950. Theses rules also
provided the basis for the last edition of 'Striker', Striker 2.
I still have a copy of combined arms on the shelf mostly because I also
have the previous edition of Harpoon's (also published by GDW) Falklands
War supplement, all the land stuff was formatted for 'Combined Arms'.
