Some exciting news today.

In anticipation of its full release in a few months, Burden of Command now has a demo out for Steam NextFest. The demo includes the tutorial, as well as two standalone scenarios (including one I did most of the writing work on), which should give you some idea of the innovative combat model the entire game is built around.

It’s quite a bit different from what most people are used to, and more importantly, it represents the actual combat of the Second World War a lot more authentically. Once you’ve gotten a hang of that, the two standalone scenarios will put your new skills to the test – and maybe give you a taste of some of the narrative elements, giving you the chance to make some hard decisions at the head of an American rifle company as it helps liberate Western Europe from the Nazis.

Check out the demo from the Steam store page here.

In the meantime, this month’s Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea, Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms and Creator’s Guide to Writing and Worldbuilding are all up now as well.
