MC553: Burden of Command with Luke Hughes
45I'm joined this week by Luke Hughes, the developer of Burden of Command. Ever wondered what it's like to wear those silver bars on a captain's uniform? Many games focus on strategy or battlefield tactics, but Burden focuses on the challenges of leadership. That requires a whole different set of skills, especially empathy, ethics, and staying cool when the s* hits the fan. Luke tells us about the game in this exclusive interview. If you're even remotely interested in history or leadership, you don't want to miss this one!
