There's no tactical game on the market quite like Mark H. Walker's PLATOON COMMANDER. Color-coded range values abstract weapon capabilities, allowing you to focus on making things go boom. Back-and-forth fire give you the dynamic impression of a fast-paced firefight. It's card-assisted, not card-driven, injecting a nice dose of chaos into the mix without ever devolving into the "why can't I get a fire card?" trap. The result is a fast-paced and easy-to-play system in the service of tense, taut scenarios that are decided in the final turn.

The first historical PLATOON COMMANDER module delves in the dynamic early days of the Korean War. The North Korean People's Army (NKPA) is relentlessly marching south, and the United States Army, vastly outnumbered, finds itself fighting a series of desperate battles in an attempt to buy enough time for the Pusan Pericmeter to be finished. Chaffees and T-34s, Skyraiders and guerilla attacks: it's all here and it's all glorious.

PLATOON COMMANDER: KOREA 1950 is packed with four tense scenarios:

Task Force Smith: The NKPA armor shrug off everything the Americans threw at them. Can they survive?

Taejon: The 21st Infantry Regiment & 78th Heavy Tank are all that stands between the NKPA and the unfinished Pusan Perimeter.

Chochiwon: The 21st Infantry Regiment faces ten-to-one odds. But US airpower might even the score.

Task Force Lynch: The daring Pusan Perimeter Breakout.

Is it required to possess actual Platoon Commander to play these items on Wargame Vault?

Thanks Mark. Your name is often all I require to be interested.

I likely will be putting a few of your items on my wish list for consideration.
I have access to a first rate print service, so I usually avoid shipping costs when I can.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
