About this game Read the full description
A Passion Project for History Enthusiasts
Lines of Battle began as the vision of a single developer, inspired by watching the 1970 film Waterloo hundreds of times. The goal was simple: to distill the grand, cinematic feeling of Napoleonic warfare into a deep yet accessible strategy game.
Today, that vision has evolved into a rich, competitive wargame supported by a dedicated community of mapmakers, historical consultants, and artists. Our ambition is to expand this system across every major era of human conflict.
What’s Coming to Steam
