Company Commander

Company Commander is a squad level strategy war game for the TRS-80 CoCo.

A World War II tactical-level war game that allows for expansion modules to play a variety of different combat operations. Each mission has set objectives to accrue points. The player controls a small company of soldiers with multiple missions available. Terrain includes roads, clear fields, forests, and buildings.

Each mission is played on a single fixed screen. Player units are represented by letters, and each unit has independent movement points, health, and weapon strength. The player can fire at enemy positions by typing in coordinates of fire. Small arms fire requires line of sight for success, and the player can perform pinning fire to prevent enemy movement or throw grenades at adjacent enemies. Engineering units can throw satchels, attach mines to tanks, and throw smoke to impede enemy line of sight.

Each company has a leader, who can call combined fire from nearby units, apply leadership modifiers to nearby units, or call artillery and airstrikes.

One of the squadron members in each combat is represented by the player. Campaign points are accrued between missions, and the player's character can receive five promotions from corporal to company commander which increase their strength and leadership modifier.
