Overview

About this game

Take the commander’s seat of an American tank. Plunge into the deserts of North Africa. Every decision counts as you battle Nazis, master logistics, and strive to keep your crew—and yourself—alive.

Every gallon of gas matters. Every round might be irreplaceable as your travels take you far from friendly lines and into a storm of secrets and maneuvers unknown to all but a handful of combatants.

World War II Armored Recon is an interactive novel of approximately 900,000 words by Allen Gies, the lead writer for Burden of Command.  It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

  • Play as male, female, or nonbinary, but don’t expect romance in the Army.

  • Experience exotic North Africa as a wide-eyed American soldier.

  • Fight in historical battles with all the chaos and improbability therein.

  • Shoot Nazis.

  • The Stuart tank you’ll command can be upgraded in numerous ways.

  • Three crewmen to bond with: Gunner, Driver, and Mechanic.
