In episode fifty-three, we prepare for our new mission, conferred on us by a voice on the phone that we don't recognize: push forward into no-man's land with a pair of Shermans and prepare positions for them to hull-down in the middle of the gully. As we prepare to move against the well-fortified German positions, we can only hope the enemy doesn't have any armor of their own to throw at us...
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: February 29th, 1944 - March 3rd, 1944
