New WW2 strategy game Battleplan has you command armies with a stroke of a pen

It's hard to match the satisfaction of a plan coming together in a good strategy game, whether that's an army emerging victorious, conquering a new part of a map, or successful resource management. New historical strategy game Battleplan offers all of the above and more, with one intriguing twist - you literally draw your plans into existence.

That's right, unlike other strategy games, you can launch surprise attacks, command armies, and organize defenses all with a single stroke of your pen. Forget confusing command panels and overwhelming micromanagement; all you need to do to execute your bold plans is to draw them directly onto the interactive map and then step back and watch them come to life in real time.

In Battleplan, you'll make high-level decisions as the commander-in-chief, and then watch as your officers and companies carry them out autonomously, including defense in depth, counterattacks, and planned withdrawals across massive maps created from real-world geographic data.

Thrust yourself into the chaos of WW2, with realistically modeled divisions and customizable chains of command, but don't forget to keep an eye on your logistics. Cutting off enemy supply lines and capturing storage depots can be just as crucial in emerging victorious in the war effort.

There's no release date as of yet for Battleplan, but you can check out the Steam page here for more info, or wishlist the game to keep in the loop with updates.
