Thank you in advance, some 30+ ok 40 years ago I started to dabble in ww2 wargaming but failing to find anyone to play against they got sold off at a carboot. However I would like to get the old rules back, and maybe restart a new hobby for my retirement.
What I remember of the rules, A5 booklet "lino" printed?
1 to 1 scale, no army list, equipped troops individually, lots of half and quarter points, vehicles had armour values on each side valued as a through to z, guns penetrated at different ranges. Sample battle account between a Sherman and Mark IV.
If anyone knows what the rules are called I would be grateful.

Greetings,
Was it Tactical Commander?

I haven’t played it just going off your description and a quick read through - matches the Lino cut cover, 1/2 points and alphabetical armour values (I think)
If not I’ll keep looking (it’s a fun internet Wargaming detective game for me!)

Hi, Andrew, sorry to spoil your fun but you got it in one, remember the picture believe it had a yellow insert too.
Again thank you for the assistance.

I have that set of rules as well, there's 2 yellow pages with printing on both sides.
Also have ANGRIFF by D. Myers and R Zimmermann. Both rules sets I have were printed in 1982. I can't recall which I liked best but Tactical Commander seems more or less Skirmish rules whereas Angriff appears to be using larger formations.

Bum, hoisted by my own petard lol (I knew my unique brand of neurodivergence would come in handy at some point in life! :D )
Happy to help.

I used to have those rules; almost unplayable level of detail. I guess they might be Ok if you have all day for a game.
