In episode forty-two, we work our way forward through the muddy Italian winter toward Cisterna. It's a short episode, but it's important preparation for the bloody work to come.
Burden of Command us 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.
Episode Timeframe: October 13th, 1943 - January 22nd, 1944
