Game Overview
Burden of Command is an emotionally authentic World War II tactical leadership RPG. You’re the Captain of a company of the fabled Cottonbalers, leading your men on and off historical battlefields from Morocco to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Fighting psychology as much as bullets, you must build respect, trust, and battlefield experience to bring your brothers safely home.
This game contains graphic violence from actual WWII image and mature themes. Gamer discretion advised.

- 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?
