World War II Armored Recon—Africa, 1942. Command a tank. Fight the Axis.

Originally published at: World War II Armored Recon—Africa, 1942. Command a tank. Fight the Axis. - Choice of Games LLC

Hosted Games has a new game for you to play!

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.

World War II Armored Recon is 33% off until July 10th!

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.
  • Personal stats, tank stats, activity stats, and relationship statuses.

Allen developed this game using ChoiceScript, a simple programming language for writing multiple-choice interactive novels like these. Writing games with ChoiceScript is easy and fun, even for authors with no programming experience. Write your own game and Hosted Games will publish it for you, giving you a share of the revenue your game produces.

I had the same problem, but I was trying to download the game in a spot with bad internet connection. Once I tried again in my home network, it worked fine.

For some reason the game doesn’t show up on Steam under the Hosted Games new releases list.

I can find it if I search specifically for it on the store, but it’s completely missing from the Hosted Games page.

For some reason i kill all my crew during the deal with the German and when i check their status screen they are fine

“Gunner Load HE, Fire for Effect”

I really appreciate the ability to just… be a woman and it not be a big deal. The stories that focus on historical accuracy over letting me just be my gender really bum me out. Like, I get it, but this story shows how it can be done just fine without derailing anything.

@AllenGies The bug where the hampshire farmhouse mission repeats still happens!

The authors seem to have found a very competent approach here.

I’m hyped for this but I don’t see it in the Choice of Games app. Will it be available there before the launch discount expires?

Hmm, weird, the latest release I see is The Last Scion. I guess I’ll just keep checking and grab it elsewhere if it doesn’t show up. Thanks!

The Last Scion is a Choice of Games title. Hosted Games is another label. It’s a separate omnibus app.
