Burden of Command Coming Out in 2025!

October 14th, 2024 | Can you be a leader of men? This is the quintessential question that Burden of Command is asking. 


Burden of Command is an emotionally authentic tactical leadership RPG. You’re a company Captain in the historical Cottonbalers. Fighting psychology as much as bullets, you must build respect, trust, and battlefield experience to bring your brothers safely home. It's an interactive "Band of Brothers"!

Features:

  • Master the Psychology of the Battlefield - Demoralize the enemy, inspire your men. Build trust and respect to overcome their natural fear of death. All based on painstaking study of real combat psychology.
  • Realistic WWII tactical leadership - learn to suppress the enemy, flank them, and finish them. Good tactics earn you trust, and respect, and an enemy surrender. Bad tactics earn death for your men.
  • Life and death decisions - get a soldier killed, lose them forever (permadeath). Your choices, their consequences.
  • A leadership RPG - guide your men through personal crises and combat stress. How you treat them affects their Mindsets. Mindsets change how they speak and think, and how they perform on the battlefield. Lead well, and forge a brotherhood willing to follow you to hell and back.
  • The Burden of Command - Lead your unit through a narrative-driven campaign of 18 turn-based, tactical battles. When will you risk their lives for the mission, or withdraw to preserve them?
  • Face the same decisions they did - Painstakingly recreated historical battlefields and forces from period accounts, satellite imagery, period maps, and aerial reconnaissance. Military historian Professor John McManus, official chronicler of the Cottonbalers regiment we follow, playtests and advises us.
