Best known for
strategic game Europa, as well as science fiction and
military-themed science fiction role-playing games that are beyond
the scope of this website, GDW nonetheless also produced a
respectable number of true military tactical titles during their
existence, notably the Assault series as well as modern
tactical miniatures rules such as
Command Decision. The
company was founded by Frank Chadwick, Rich Banner, Marc Miller, and
Loren Wiseman on 22 June 1973. One source states that the company
produced a new product, on average, every 22 days until the company
disbanded due to financial troubles on 29 February 1996.
GDW published the
first issues of
The Grenadier as its own
house organ, but quickly expanded
the coverage and sold the magazine to J. Tibbetts and Son after
twelve issues. GDW also published
Command
Post/Command Post Quarterly in support of its miniatures
games.
