Battleplan - a large-scale strategy about the Second World War from Slitherine releases on October 12

Military strategy publisher Slitherine and Foolish Mortals Games are releasing Battleplan on October 12, a realistic real-time strategy set in World War II, where the player commands entire divisions rather than individual squads.

Battleplan simulates huge battles lasting from a week to a month: hundreds of thousands of soldiers act second by second, day by day. The player gives high-level orders, and officers and companies carry them out independently. Plans can be drawn directly on the map: multi-stage operations, defense in depth, counterattacks, planned retreats and preparatory bombing before major attacks.

Real geography and logistics

Battlefields are built based on real-life geographic data - every road, city, forest and swamp lies where it is in reality, right down to the heights important for artillery placement. The divisions are modeled authentically: headquarters, regiments, battalions and companies, engineers, anti-tank crews, reconnaissance and aviation. You can customize the order of battle and the chain of command, hire and fire officers as they gain experience and acquire quirks.

A separate role is assigned to supply: cut off enemy communications, capture warehouses and retreat when ammunition runs out. The campaign includes more than ten large-scale operations of the Western Front since 1944, and for history buffs there are geotags with real photographs and videos filmed in those very places.
