Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines

The setting is World War II, and England has made and trained a small group of special elite forces called "commandos". These commandos are specially trained to take on the most crucial and risky missions. These men are sent in to covertly take out installations, sabotage plans, assassinate leaders, and cause as much disruption to the enemies of the free world.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is a real-time tactics game. The goal is to lead a team of six men throughout 20 missions across the entire WWII theater, with missions in the North African desert, Italy, France, and even in Norway. Strategy is a key element, as the team is vastly outnumbered in most missions, and stealth a main aspect of the gameplay, stealth kills being usually preferable over going in guns blazing. Missions get much harder once the alarm is sounded, with double the amount of guards and reinforcements possibly coming for every enemy killed in the open.

Every mission comes with specific (and usually multiple) objectives to disrupt enemy activity. These may range from destroying trains, battleships, and structures, to rescuing captured GI's. The commandos team includes six highly trained operatives: Tiny, the heavy-duty trained killer; Duke, the silent sniper; Inferno, the demolitions and mechanical expert; Spooky, the spy; Fins, the navy diver; and Tread, the surly driver. Each mission only provides with the soldiers required to complete it. Some missions may require all six characters while others will only use two of them.
