Division Commander
Miniature rules for multi-day battles of WWII

Division Commander, by Bruce McFarlane, is an operational game where you take the role of a Divisional or Corps commander and game the battles of the Second World War at the scale you read about in history books.

Each day is played in an average of four game turns, allowing you to play out a full Second World War Battle in one sitting. One base of miniatures represents a whole battalion, and at scale of three inches to one mile, a ping-pong table represents an entire battlefield.Divisions have to be assigned "orders" (without record-keeping or written orders) which affect the way the division fights. This encourages you to follow tactics consistent with the orders. Corps or Army level air cover, artillery support, and command are represented in a simple and effective way--so as to neither detract from or dominate the action. Do you want to play Patton or Sgt. Rock? Rommel or Sgt. Schultz? Division Commander is for generals!

Division Commander includes: A 21 page rule book with illustrations and examples; 11 pages of Division Cards; French, American, and three each (early/mid/late war) for Britain, Germany, and the USSR, listing all the units in the Division, as well as all their gaming statistics, in one easy format; two pages of quick reference sheets; all the markers necessary to play the game; the Arras 1940, Road to Moscow 1941, and El Alamein 1942 scenarios.

Objective Tobruk
WW2 in North Africa Dec. 1940 to June 1942

Objective Tobruk is Bruce McFarlane's scenario supplement for Division Commander.

The package includes nine Division Commander Scenarios for WWII in North Africa, December 1940 to June 1942: Operation Compass; Operation Brevity; Operation Battleaxe; Operation Crusader - Bir el Gubi; Operation Crusader - Sidi Rezegh; Tobruk Breakout; Operation Crusader - Sidi Rezegh (pt 2); The Cauldron; and First Battle of El Alamein.

In many respects, the battles of North Africa are the optimum scenarios for the Division Commander ruleset. Areas are wide and forces are small. Whole battles can be fought with relatively few miniatures and in a reasonable amount of table space. The advantages of flanking maneuvers, layered defences, and armoured breakthroughs are all emphasized in "the desert." Objective Tobruk expands on the existing Division Commander ruleset and supplements, continuing to illustrate the differing troop concentrations, operational considerations, and scope of the various theatres of the European War.
