About

Join the ranks of history's greatest generals and redefine the outcomes of the most significant battles of the Napoleonic era. All it takes is a strategic mind and the will to command. Dive into our game now on Steam and lead your troops to glory!


Dive into 6 detailed campaigns each representing a pivotal phase of the Napoleonic Wars — from Preussisch-Eylau in 1807 to the battles of 1814. Each campaign offers a series of battles that shaped the course of history, bringing over 150 missions to your screen.



Each mission showcases a historical battlefield with meticulously positioned army regiments, bringing military history battle maps directly to your screen. Historical accuracy meets tactical gameplay here, where the positioning and terrain play as much a role as your regiments and decisions.



We've meticulously recreated the authentic design of Napoleonic Wars-era army regiments, complete with historically accurate uniforms and capabilities. It's not just about classifying units as infantry, cavalry, or artillery; it’s about the unique history of each specific regiment, which can significantly impact their role on the battlefield.



To provide full immersion of battlefield command, we’ve combined turn-based elements like hexagonal grid movement with the simultaneous actions characteristic of RTS. This results in gameplay with a more deliberate pace, where quick reflexes aren’t essential—only a keen strategic mind.



Leverage historical formations like squares, columns, or skirmish lines to gain tactical advantages on the battlefield. Transform your units dynamically to suit the unfolding tactical scenario. With a system designed to minimize randomness, predict the outcome of your strategies and attacks with high accuracy, similar to traditional tabletop wargaming.

First Update

10.10.2024

In this update, you can expect the following:

    • Two additional, slower game speeds have been added, although we still recommend playing at the fastest one.
    • Mouse map panning is now available (just move your cursor to the edge of the screen to move the camera).
    • The cursor is locked within the window during battles for easier camera control. This feature can be disabled in the settings along with the previous option.
    • You can now rotate and zoom the camera by holding down the middle mouse button.
    • Guard dragoons now correctly play their animations and no longer appear to "ride under" their horses. It was dramatic, but not historically accurate.
    • All cuirassiers now wield broadswords instead of sabers.
    • Resetting settings now selects more appropriate default values.
