What is Battleplan?

Battleplan is a unique real-time strategy game that simulates massive month-long battles with hundreds of thousands of troops second by second, day by day. You give high-level orders, then watch your officers and companies carry them out autonomously.

The aim of Battleplan is not to micromanage your army, but to create deliberate plans to destroy the enemy. You dot his by creating multi-step and multi-unit plans intuitively by directly drawing on the map.

Each division is realistically modeled with headquarters, regiments, battalions and companies. Your infantry, tanks, engineers, anti-tank guns, artillery and scouts work together and perform tasks autonomously.

Chains of command can be modified to suit what you need. You can hire and sack officers with unique stats.

Maps are based on thousands of square kilometers of real-world geographic data. Each road, town, forest and swamp is exactly where they are in real-life.

Each mission is simulated second-by-second, allowing you to pause, play in real-time or fast-forward at will. Mission lengths range from one week to a month.

Supply depots are modelled. Both the direct and indirect approach to war can work. You can either try to blast through enemy positions with massed fires, or unhinge them from their base and force them to retreat or be destroyed.

The main campaign will consist of 10+ massive historical battles set in the campaign for the Liberation of France. You will upgrade your divisions with new attachments and promote officers. Let wounded divisions rest and recuperate. Gain powerful air support assets such recon, fighter-bomber and heavy bomber aircraft.

The main campaign lets you play as the Allies, but individual scenarios also allow you to take on the role of the Germans.

We have also included geo-tagged locations with real-life historical photographs taken at those locals. After capturing Cherbourg in-game, you can see actual photographs of what the town looked like after the battle there.

Battleplan is currently in Beta, and we would welcome any additional testers that want to sign up - https://www.slitherine.com/beta/battleplan
