Your career

EARN YOUR COMMAND

Lead your first platoon, prove yourself in battle and take on greater responsibility.

As your career develops, officers lead the formations you once directed yourself. Choose their tasks, commit your reserves and fight the bigger battle.

Your officers

LEAD THROUGH YOUR OFFICERS

Give one platoon the village. Send another around the flank.

Your officers carry out the plan while you choose where to commit support or take direct control of a formation.

THE GROUND YOU FIGHT FOR.

Every operation begins with the ground. Roads, rivers, farms and settlements shape the plan before the first formation moves.

Useful details

About the game.

What kind of game is Field of Command?

Start with a platoon. Become a general. Field of Command is a World War II real-time strategy game about earning greater command through a military career. Lead through your officers, choose your tactics and take direct control of formations where the battle needs you.

What carries over between campaign battles?

Your service record, officers, experience and losses give the next operation a history. Your career continues as you receive new appointments and greater responsibility. Campaign owns that career; Skirmish lets you choose a standalone battle, and competitive progression is separate.

Where does the campaign begin?

The opening British career follows the BEF from the Phoney War of 1939 into the fighting in Belgium and France in 1940. Further theatres shown in the campaign journey are long-term plans, with their own development scope.

Which platforms and modes are planned?

The full game is being developed for PC on Steam. Campaign provides the commander career, Skirmish provides standalone battle building, and competitive play has separate progression. Initial Early Access mode availability will be confirmed before release.

What can I play now?

The free browser preview is an early version of the game, with separate progress from the future Steam release. The journey from first platoon to general is the vision for the full game. A free Steam demo is in preparation; the Steam page and wishlisting will follow. Early Access is planned for 2027.

Will the full game be free?

The full Steam game is planned as a paid Early Access release in 2027 at a planned price of £20 / $25. A free Steam demo is coming soon, and the browser preview is playable now.
