Announced: Squad Leader

Yesterday afternoon, Hasbro Interactive announced that it would be publishing a PC version of the classic Avalon Hill board game Squad Leader later this year. Players will take command of British, American, or German troops in the European theater of World War II in a turn-based environment. Squad Leader gives players the chance to relive and change the outcome of a number of famous confrontations, such as the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Market Garden, and the Normandy Invasion.

Squad Leader will release this October and should retail for around US$49.99.
