About:
Complete Edition includes Radio Commander: Squad Management DLC!
In Radio Commander you are playing as an American military commander serving in US Army during
the Vietnam War. You will be carrying a heavy burden as your mission is to coordinate military
operations taking place between 1965 and 1968.
But this is not just another RTS, in which you are an invisible being hovering over the battlefield. In
Radio Commander situation reports are given to you in form of dramatic radio statements sent by
troops fighting on the ground. And your only accessory is a strategic map, on which you can place
tokens and notes.
UNIQUE VIEW ON REALISM
Radio Commander offers an unique experience very different from classic real time strategy games.
It’s a bold try to redefine the genre, as the player will be involved in a decision making process much
more realistic than those pictured by casual RTS titles. Ask for situation reports. Listen what your men
have to tell you. Send evac choppers and nape drops. Defeat the invisible enemy.
DIVE INTO THE STORY
Experience the story of soldiers and their commander, trapped in the middle of bloody, chaotic,
morally ambiguous Vietnam conflict. Dive into a scenario that doesn’t avoid the difficult issues of
civilians trapped in the theater of action, shady CIA operations, and cynical political pressures.
Discover those uneasy situations, presented in such cult classics as Platoon, Full Metal Jacket or
Apocalypse Now, which were happening on a daily basis for those serving in Vietnam. See for yourself
how hard it is to make the right choices in the middle of a fire exchange with Vietcong.
DECIDE WHO LIVES AND DIES
Decide the fate of your soldiers. The choices you face will have a direct impact on the course of the
game. They will also define views of your hero. Or maybe those are your views? Playing Radio
Commander you must be prepared to answer tough questions about the righteousness of your
actions, the price of a human life, and the toxic power of propaganda and stereotypes.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION
Radio Commander is not another empty action game. You will play as the commander operating from
his tent, using only a radio and a map. You will be staring at the map for hours, listening carefully to
the reports. Your decisions will affect lives of many people. Just like in real life, there are no fancy
graphics and animations to help you imagine what’s happening on battlefield. Only you, your map, and
skills. You have to listen and be smart. Thanks to this, level of immersion is much greater than in
normal real time strategy games.
CHOOSE BETWEEN VARIOUS MEANS
You will take under your command not only units of infantry, air cavalry or field artillery, but also
powerful units of air support. It’s in your will to order the jungle-burning nape drops, or devastating
bombings. Are you ready to bring the rain of fire and burn the enemy positions to the ground? Are you
sure that your soldiers are far enough and won't take damages? And does the ends always justify the means?
EXPERIENCE DEEP IN-GAME SYSTEMS
Beneath the narrative layer, hidden from your eyes, a deep and complex simulation is taking place. In
Radio Commander every unit is described by unique set of statistics. You will have to worry about
your platoons morale, supplies, and even their stamina. All those factors will be important during your
soldiers' confrontations with enemy, unfriendly terrain and extreme Vietnamese climate. What will
you do, when your choppers report, that they are out of fuel and forced to land in the middle of the
jungle? Will you send the rescue mission risking the life of even more soldiers?
BOND WITH YOUR BROTHERS IN ARMS
Troops under your command are not just pawns on the map. They are complicated, multi-layered
human beings, with their own voices, problems, strengths and weaknesses. Mutual trust is essential.
They depend on your judgment and cool decisions, while you are hoping they’re giving their best.
Discover hundreds of original dialogues and scenarios. Replay previously completed missions and alter
the course of events by making different decisions and encountering different events.
HOURS OF GAME EXPERIENCE

Squad Management DLC grants access to many new, unique mechanics that turns Radio Commander
into an even more interesting and complex strategy game.
Gain the insight into each unit’s squad and get more attached to your subordinates. Learn their names.
Remember faces of outstanding soldiers. Observe, as they improve skills (over 60 unique perks! some
of them affects an entire unit) and are doing better on the battlefield. Move them between platoons.
Take care of their health by sending them on a vacation. Recruit new soldiers and expel from service
those who are unfit to fight. The more experience your troops gain, the better they will behave on the
battlefield. For the purposes of the DLC, we have designed a comprehensive morale system - for
every single soldier and the entire Baker Company.
But there’s more! Squad Management DLC also deepens the main story. Check out a beautifully
designed glossary. In it, you will find portraits of all the main heroes and learn more about their
backgrounds. Another new feature is a highly functional log that records all dialogues, decisions and
events making it much easier to follow the story.
