I saw it once in a hobby store years ago. It was the WWII Tank Commander Game. Can't remember the name of it though. Can anyone remember that one and does anyone know where I could pick it up?

Thanks Man! I think I found it! Anyone got it or have an opinion on it?
Patton's Best is a solitaire game that puts you in the commander's seat of a Sherman tank in George Patton's best fighting division, the 4th Armoured. You can play through a short engagement, a complete day of movement and battle, or follow the day-by-day European campaign of the 4th Armoured Division. The success and survival of your tank depends on your decision.
You will start out in a basic M4 Sherman tank, but may later command any of 17 different Sherman variations. Each crew member is rated for skill at his position and his rating will affect how well he performs. Your crew will start with relatively low ratings but if they can survive to become veterans, their ratings and the efficiency of your tank can improve.
Included are three types of scenarios: Advances, Battles and Counterattacks.
