It is a modern combat simulator and includes scenarios ranging from the 1973 October War to near-future scenarios in Cuba.{{cite web | url=http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ProSIM/BCT/BCT_page.html | title=BCT Commander }}

This game began life was BCT: Brigade Combat Team, published online, independently by ProSIM Company in 1998. It was picked up by Shrapnel Games in 2000 and spawned the follow-on products, BCT Expansion Pack 1 & 2 and BCT Construction Kit. Just before the roll out of ProSIM's second generation engine, Armored Task Force, the game and all of its expansions were repackaged as a single product and, along with a number of upgrades, renamed BCT Commander. The game was also, for the first time, sold as a physical product rather than as a download.{{cite web | url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/bctcommander/review.html | title=BCT Commander Review }}
