World at War #55: Butcher & Bolt – British Commandos in Northwest Europe 1940–1945 (Solitaire) places you in command of Britain’s elite raiding forces during World War II. As a player, you will plan, equip, and execute special operations missions behind enemy lines across occupied Europe and North Africa. Every decision counts — from selecting your team and equipment to managing scarce resources and ensuring your commandos make it home alive.

• Command Britain’s Finest: Take charge of a team of highly trained British Commandos tasked with conducting daring raids, sabotage missions, and reconnaissance operations throughout the war — from 1940 to 1945.
• Solitaire Strategic Play: Designed for solo gaming, the system immerses you in the decision-making of a commando officer. Missions are randomly generated to simulate direct orders from high command, ensuring that every playthrough offers a unique challenge.
• Plan, Equip, Execute: Select the right weapons, equipment, and tactics to suit each mission. Choose your posture — stealth, speed, or aggression — and coordinate insertion and extraction under ever-changing enemy conditions.
• Limited Resources, High Stakes: Every operation requires efficient use of manpower and matériel. Success depends on achieving maximum disruption of enemy operations with the smallest possible footprint — and minimal casualties.
