Some players thrive on the military-style chain of command "Your mission is..." types of games. Others don't. Now it might be that the latter types of players won't want to play a WWII game anyway, but in case they are still interested, come up with character archetypes and hooks for civilian PCs as well as military: partisans, spies, locals working with OSS operatives, and so on.Clearly, commando style adventures will fit in quite nicely as well as odd-squad level missions like in Saving Pvt. Ryan. For some further ideas, check out some of the histories of small commando groups like the SAS missions in North Africa. That should produce some good ideas.</blockquote>
