Battalion Commander
Battalion Commander is a real-time tactical (platoon/company level)
simulation of modern warfare. The player is put in the role of a lieutenant
colonel in charge of an entire armored battalion of either U.S., Soviet, or
Chinese army. A combination of 5 scenarios and 40 maps of varied terrain
(rivers, hills, minefields) is available, as well as infantry, tanks, APCs,
artillery, assault guns, and other units.
The commands are issued by pointing a spot on the map with the cursor (using
the joystick) and then pressing a key combination selecting which
company/platoon has to perform what action (these include fire support, smoke
screen, laying bridges, digging in, etc.). A handicap can be chosen for either
side to adjust difficulty.
