A HANDFUL OF EXCEPTIONAL MEN...
“...no routine, no bureaucracy... only pure operations, whose success
depends basically on oneself and on the men that have been chosen to
carry out the task. This is revolutionary”
Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Clark
It is late 1940. The Axis forces control all of Western Europe.
Momentarily held back by the English Channel, the German army gath-
ers strength for an imminent invasion of Great Britain.
However, there is one man in the British ranks that will not resign him-
self to play a merely defensive role.This man is Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Clark. His plan was to create a special unit with a
handful of exceptional men. Men who are skilled at handling any type of weapon and excel in all forms of combat. Men who
are able to hit the enemy hard in the most dangerous circumstances and live to fight another day. Men who could change the
course of the war by taking the fight behind the enemy lines.
Due to the special characteristics of this unit, the officers who conceived and created the Commandos were forced to forget
most of what they had learnt at the military academies. The Commando doctrine was to use small units,carrying out stealthy
raids. Units had to be self-reliant and able to take the initiative when faced with unexpected situations.Men with highly var-
ied specialties and background,who went through mercilessly tough training at the Scottish castle of Achnacarry,and left there
prepared to face just about anything -except incompetent commanders.
Throughout the war, the Commandos showed great unity and discipline
in combat. On several occasions, determined soldiers carried out per-
ilous actions with great heroism. At war’s end, the Commandos had
accumulated the largest number of decorations received by a single
Army unit: 8 Victoria Crosses, 37 Distinguished Service Orders, 162
Military Crosses, 32 Distinguished Conduct Medals and 218 Military
Medals.
This game wishes to pay a modest tribute to those men, who were wit-
nesses and privileged actors in several of the most dramatic and deci-
sive moments of the Second World War: men who were fated to make
History.
