Command Decision III

Description

Land combat in World War II was not simply tank duels, infantry skirmishes, or artillery barrages. It was a balanced symphony of all combat arms acting in concert. Command Decision lifts World War II miniatures combat above the skirmish level and recreates battles from the battalion to division level.

The emphasis in the new 3rd edition remains on command-level decision making, rapid movement, and quickly developing tactical situations. Streamlined game mechanics speed the playing time, cutting typical turn lengths by as much as half, but without sacrificing the tactial detail or flavor Command Decision has always been known for. Technical Accuracy has been improved over previous editions with revised and expanded weapon charts and an extremely rigorous review and editing process.

The result is the best version of Command Decision ever. Richer and more detailed, but at the same time easier and faster to play. Command Decision 3rd Edition is the new standard for modern land combat miniatures rules.
