About This Demo

Platoon Commander is a Real-Time Strategy game focused on the German advance toward Moscow in the fall and winter of 1941. It combines real-time tactical battles with a turn-based campaign map. You can make decisions about the pace of the advance, switch to defensive strategies when necessary, and manage your army, considering weather conditions and the passing of time.

Demo contents

The demo of Platoon Commander offers a dive experience of the game where you can step into the role of a German commander during the autumn of 1941, tasked with capturing and holding a Soviet village. You, as commander, can customize your platoon, selecting a mix of infantry, armor, and artillery to build an effective fighting force. The mission begins with an offensive push to seize the village from the Red Army. You can lead to a subsequent battle under shifting weather conditions, where you must defend against a Soviet counterattack. The greater the losses in the first battle, the more difficult it will be to repel the counter-attack in the second battle.
