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.
