Field of Command
A World War II RTS where you rise through the ranks.
Coming soon to SteamFree demo to follow
The battlefield
Your rifle sections recce forward and take key ground, backed by machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns and off-map support. Push the front line forward, dig in and garrison farmhouses against the looming counter-attack.
Ground that changes
Buildings collapse brick by brick, tile by tile. Craters and debris open new paths forward, and bridges fall to relentless shelling or a few well-placed charges.
Artillery and air
Spot the enemy and interrogate prisoners for intel, then call down mortars, artillery and air strikes. Unleash total devastation without risking your men.
The chain of command
Higher Command sends your orders; how you carry them out is up to you. Draw your plans on the map table and hand them to your officers. The map table is where the plans are drawn. The battlefield is where they are decided.
Supply lines
Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics. Keep ammunition and fuel moving up your roads, get your wounded back to the aid posts, and cut the enemy's supply until they starve.
Earn your rank
Earn Initiative in the fight and spend it on reserves, fire support or your headquarters. Rise from lieutenant to captain to major, and choose your officers wisely, as their traits shape how they lead.
Beyond the battle
Follow your own officer through the British Expeditionary Force's war, from the Phoney War to Dunkirk, in interlinked historical missions and plausible alternatives.
Your men go with you
Your veterans and officers carry on from one operation to the next, with their experience, traits and problems.
Your choices shape the war
Every evening your diary ends in a decision, and your choice shapes the next battle.
Backdrop of war
The British campaign begins in France. Our planned journey continues through North Africa, Italy and North-West Europe throughout Early Access.
