Battleplan is coming on October 12th from publisher Slitherine and developer Foolish Mortals. Back in July, we announced that we needed more time to bring Battleplan to you in its best state, and had to delay the release.

That extra time has allowed us to address the issues we wanted to fix, polish the experience, and make sure Battleplan is ready for launch.

In Battleplan players don’t command units directly in the field, they are the general, making high-level strategic decisions from the headquarters, leaving operational and tactical choices to their officers, and drawing plans directly on the map.

The game’s unique features emphasize strategic command over micromanagement, allowing players to issue high-level orders. Through an interactive planning map, commanders can draw strategies directly onto the battlefield using a digital pencil, plotting movements, offensives, defensive lines, counterattacks, and supply routes by hand. It places players in control of entire divisions and corps rather than individual squads, highlighting grand strategy and maneuver warfare. Grounded in history, the maps feature archival photography and geo-located historical elements that closely connect each engagement to real-world events.
