Indeed, being in a platoon is pretty dull most of the time, but there's no reason it has to be run that way. The WWII campaign I'm playing in is one of the best RPGs I've played in 35 years. We've caught spies in London, defended Stalingrad, and would rather avoid needing to escape from Stalag 13, since that requires being captured.

Also, the lack of a place to go wild with few social constraints hurts as well.
I'll start a separate thread about that in Roleplaying in General, sine it isn't GURPS-specific.
