The general tone is more ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]'' than ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]''; the horrors of war are still there, but they don't overpower the stories.

* [[Aussies With Artillery]]: Stories about [[Only Known by Their Nickname|Anzacs]] have long been a favourite for ''Commando'' readers; kind of an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]], but for an entire armed force.
* [[Break Out the Museum Piece]]: In ''Charlie's Tank'', a group of plucky British soldiers trapped in occupied France liberate a World War I tank from a museum and use it to escape the Nazis.
