In episode seven, we complete another training exercise, but the resolution is interrupted by some unexpected heroics leading to the death of Sergeant Bennett, one of our best NCOs. Once training exercises are complete, we’re transported to the cargo hull of a transport ship while we prepare to take our place in Operation Torch as part of the invasion of Morocco.
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.
