Battle Academy

The hit turn-based strategy game is now on Steam and was the number one strategy game in the app store for 46 nations. By merging intuitive design with engaging gameplay, Battle Academy aims to overhaul the strategy genre. This rapid and accessible strategy title offers numerous unit types and missions, delivering infinite replay value through a cleverly designed online multiplayer system, an integrated scenario editor, and various user modifications. Battle Academy is an intense tactical strategy game where you take command of a chosen group of units and guide them through battles across the multiple fronts of World War II. As a commander, you must employ real-world combined-arms tactics to secure victory. This involves setting ambushes to surprise enemies, utilizing suppressing fire to pin them down, flanking hostile armor for maximum impact, and assaulting enemies to clear strong points when necessary. You will also have access to potent off-map artillery and air support capable of weakening defenses or stopping enemy attacks in their tracks. Additionally, you must closely monitor the morale of your troops and use recon units to identify hostile ambushes or flanking maneuvers. To facilitate this, Battle Academy provides a clean and intuitive interface that simplifies troop control while ensuring you maintain situational awareness, allowing you to focus on mission objectives, battle tactics, and unit placement. The game engine is entirely script-driven, making it easy to modify and allowing players to craft their own missions, scenarios, or even complete game overhauls efficiently. Slitherine’s innovative server-based PBEM++ system enhances the package, offering an experience that satisfies both hardcore wargamers and newcomers. This asynchronous multiplayer system allows you to find opponents globally at any time and play at your own pace, with thousands of games running simultaneously. Battle Academy also supports cross-platform multiplayer with iPad, ensuring there is always someone available to challenge online. You can start a turn on your PC at home and continue it on your iPad while on the train. Base game features include controlling British, US, Polish, and Canadian forces across three epic campaigns with over 30 varied battles, or taking charge of Italian and German forces in multiplayer. Select from a vast arsenal of equipment, including 100 units from six nations such as Shermans, Fireflys, Panthers, Tigers, Stukas, Hurricanes, and P47s.
