Special Operations

Towards the end of WWII you are given the job of leading a squad of four other men in a hazardous raid on a complex deep in enemy territory where a devastating weapon is being developed. Your first task is to choose your exact objective of the seven available. Then select your team and the skills they should possess.

Once at the complex they may only have to photograph it or at the hardest level penetrate its underground tunnels and discover the secrets of the weapon. Once your mission is complete, you have to make it to an airplane that lifts you to safety.

Good News

P. Plenty of variety of task and problems.
P. Novel idea of skill use and game objectives.

Bad News

N. Crude stickman graphics and displays.
N. Too much emphasis on fighting patrols rather than thinking.
