Platoon Commander Deluxe is a Mark H. Walker designed, platoon-level game system depicting armored combat from 1936 into the near future. The counters represent everything from tanks and infantry to armored personnel carriers and, as the technology progresses, even missile teams. The game uses an innovative sequence of play; a card-assisted system that is partially impulse drive, partially turn-based, and all fun. Morale plays a decisive role, and the period's equipment is understandably depicted with colors and numbers on each counter.
