Like with any other strategy game scenario, Combat Command puts you in command of company-sized units in historical scenarios where you must capture and hold victory objectives until the end of the scenario itself. Not only are multiple unit types are used but also HQ units to assist in support fire and in attacks. Scenarios can last for a few turns in the span of a day or for days, with day and night cycles.
