Battleplan is a real-time strategy game where you command entire divisions in massive World War II battles, issuing high-level orders that your officers and companies carry out autonomously across expansive, historically accurate campaigns.
Gameplay
As the commander, you create detailed battle plans by drawing directly on a vast strategic map, orchestrating multi-unit operations like defensive stands, counterattacks, and planned withdrawals. You manage a realistically modeled army hierarchy, customize your chain of command, and control the flow of logistics while your subordinate units execute tasks independently. Missions unfold in real-time, allowing you to pause or fast-forward through battles that can last for weeks of in-game time.
Story

You lead your forces through a series of massive, historically inspired battles, tasked with turning the tide of the war through strategic mastery and tactical acumen on authentically recreated battlefields.
