Lead Soldier

Windows - 1998

Lead soldier is a free, real-time computer game based on strategy.

Most of Europe has been under German occupation for more than two years. On the British Isles, allied forces are building up at a furious pace in preparation for the liberation of the continent.

The recent victories in North Africa and the progress of the red army on the eastern front are cause for optimism, but time is running out. German scientists are engineering weapons of unprecedented destructive power.

Recently on a small archipelago off the coast of France, local partisans have witnessed the testing of giant rockets. It is believed that just one such rocket carrying a new revolutionary explosive could annihilate a city the size of London.

With the invasion of Europe still several months away, allied commanders have chosen you to lead a daring operation code named “Lead Soldier”.

The purpose of this mission is to disrupt the development of the giant rocket, and if possible capture the German scientists and their technology.

Is multiplayer working? I can see the option but when I enter a player name the missions just disappear, also can I get more missions for singleplayer ?

Thank you for that mouse fix @LeadSoldierMouseFix !!
I can actually replay the game on a modern PC now. Up until now my only option was to fire up my old pentium II from 28 years ago lol. Much much appreciated!
