In World War 2 Wargame Battleplan, We Lead the Allied
The strategy game Battleplan offers an 11-mission campaign that recreates key historical battles on the Western Front, ending with the Allies’ final advance into Germany. The developers, Slitherine, previewed the opening mission on Twitch, showing both gameplay mechanics and current progress in development.
Strategic Gameplay Focus
Success depends heavily on careful planning, coordination, and logistics. Players command armor, aircraft, and infantry units in combined arms operations, issuing real-time orders to achieve mission goals.
Intelligence and Terrain
Before each mission, an intelligence briefing provides the map for drawing strategic plans and organizing units. Players must adapt to varied terrain and supply line placement that can influence tactical decisions.
Dynamic Combat Conditions
“Seize high ground, merge or split divisions, and call in air support — reconnaissance to expose hidden positions, fighter-bombers to break armor, or carpet bombing to shatter fortifications.”
Combat requires on-the-fly adjustments as day and night cycles affect visibility, forcing changes in tactics.
Campaign Progression
The campaign spans several Western Front locations such as Cherbourg and Caen, advancing toward Germany. Progress carries over between missions as divisions gain experience, officers unlock new abilities, and casualties must be replaced. Players can also use requisition points to add historic divisions or form custom units.
