Puts the "real" in realistic, while still being a fun and manageable game. And it does so for everything, combat, events, personal dynamics, the real history of the war. I'm a WW2 historian by trade, and no game I have ever seen, and I've seen plenty, has come this close to depicting the real thing.
This is something special. If you like hex strategic wargames and youre tired of the same formula ad nauseum, this has very original twist and it really feels like hex rpg, so be prepared to read a lot of text, which is as important as well known hex element. Your award will be a military adventure with strong emphasis on human relations. im glad that the developers are so bold and willing to take the risk swimming in this small niche pond of original strategy games.

Wenn man weiss auf was man sich einlässt (sich etwas informiert hat) und dem Spiel anfangs etwas Zeit gibt ist das ein sehr einzigartiges Erlebnis! Leider keine Deutsche Version aber naja
Burden of Command Is probably one of the best turn based strategy/wargame combos I have ever played. It is very rough around the edges in places but has excellent gameplay and narrative that more than makes up for it.
WTF The worst UI ever. Do yourself a favor and dont get this even on sale.
这款游戏的创作者们极具耐心,我对此深表感激;正是他们在长达三个小时里不厌其烦的亲身指导,让我得以成功体验到这款完美的游戏。 The game's creators were incredibly patient, and I am deeply grateful to them; it was their tireless, hands-on guidance over the course of three hours that enabled me to successfully experience this perfect game.
By all means a historians game
Failed in bootcamp, went home in disgrace. Parents kicked me out and I became the town drunk. Look if you're [i]incredibly[/i] patient it might be fun, but I never got there. Four tutorial missions in bootcamp with constant pauses, talking, and esoteric rules was quite enough. Wish there was a neutral option.
A nice game. The tactical aspect is very easy for anyone used to wargames, but I liked how the game humanizes your units. If anything, I wish there would be more personalization at grunt level
Juego pausado, de leer y pensar antes de actuar. Muy documentado y con textos para situarte en la misión, el escenario y la guerra. Continuas interacciones con tu tropa y tus superiores donde lo táctico es una parte más del conjunto. Puedes superar el escenario, pero a costa de perder hombres. Quizá ese último objetivo es simplemente innecesario y ya has exigido demasiado a tus soldados...o no Es un juego complejo que no está pensado para ser jugado con prisas. Vas creciendo con la historia, con tu dominio de los controles, de las posibles tácticas. Igual que lo hace tu personaje. Me queda mucho camino por delante. Una pequeña joya que me parece muy interesante para los amantes de la estrategia por turnos y de la historia militar.
