COMMAND POST and Command Post QUARTERLY
Started out as a gaming newsletter that expanded to magazine format, primarily for
Command Decision Miniature rules using 1/285th micro armor, Combined Arms was the
modern variant and Over The Top was the World War I version. Each miniature stand
represented a platoon. The game is an excellent resourse for FLAMES OF WAR as it
provides detailed orders of battle to include experience and morale levels as well as types
of equipment availble down to specific tank variants. I have included a list of useful
articles and the issue they are found in, this is by no means a complete index, but
information I found of interest.
