Description:
Burden of Command is an emotionally authentic World War II tactical leadership RPG. You’re the Captain of a company of the fabled Cottonbalers, leading your men on and off historical battlefields from Morocco to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Fighting psychology as much as bullets, you must build respect, trust, and battlefield experience to bring your men safely home.
Features:
- Master the psychology of the Battlefield – Demoralize the enemy, inspire your men, Build trust and respect to overcome their natural fear of death. All based on painstaking study of real combat psychology.
- Realistic WWII Tactical Leadership – learn to suppress the enemy, flank them, and finish them. Good tactics earn you Trust, Respect, and an enemy Surrender. Bad tactics earn death for your men.
- Life and Death decisions – get a soldier killed, lose them forever (permadeath). Your choices, their consequences.
- Leadership RPG – guide your men through personal crises and combat stress. How you treat them affects their mindsets. Mindsets change how they speak and think and how they perform on the battlefield. Lead well and forge a brotherhood willing to follow you to hell and back.
- The Burden of Command – Lead your unit through a narrative-driven campaign of 18 turn-based, tactical battles. When will you risk their lives for the mission, or withdraw to preserve them?
- Face the same decisions they did – painstakingly recreated historical battlefields and forces from period accounts, satellite imagery, period maps, and aerial reconnaissance. Military historian professor John McManus, official chronicler of the Cottonbalers regiment we follow, playtests and advises us.
