In episode seventeen, we press forward down the road, taking enemy positions and, following some extremely questionable orders on the part of the enemy, succeed at reducing the enemy force to a single squad and a gaggle of officers. As the scenario draws to a close, and under fire from the enemy’s artillery, we assemble for the final assault to secure a major victory for both mission and man.
Burden of Command is a platoon-level roleplaying game where we take on the role of an officer in the United States Army commanding a platoon in the 7th Infantry Regiment ("The Cottonbalers") during World War Two. This game uses WW2 as a setting, but in addition to a tactical game, it's a roleplaying game where your personality and how you interact with the officers around you have a major impact in your personal story and the stories of the troops serving under and alongside you. In this run, I'll be roleplaying a sarcastic reservist who loves hearing himself talk and always looks after his troops.
