squad leader
publisher avalon hill had considered a computer version of its board wargame "squad leader" during the 1990s, as the game and its "advanced squad leader" releases had sold over 1 million copies by 1997. however, "computer gaming world"s terry coleman noted that the series' complexity made this job "too daunting" initially. in the middle of the decade, the publisher worked with atomic games on a computer adaptation called "beyond squad leader", but the companies' partnership collapsed and the game became the unrelated "close combat" in 1996. avalon hill tried again with big time software's "computer squad leader", announced in early 1997. this project fell through in july 1998 to become the independent wargame "", in the run-up to hasbro's purchase of avalon hill. at the time of "computer squad leader"s cancellation, avalon hill announced plans to contract another developer to adapt "squad leader"; the publisher's jack dott explained that the next incarnation would "be more faithful to the original product". avalon hill's entire staff was laid off upon the company's sale to hasbro that august.
