Battalion Commander

real-time strategy game for Commodore 64, 1985

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
