Hello World,

Lines of Battle is an evolving, turn-based war game that simulates the Napoleonic, line-based clashes of yesteryear. It has excellent depth and the settings allow for quick or long games that fit the player's schedule. Ranked matchmaking is supported alongside custom matches and bot play to help get over the small learning curve. In addition, a map maker is featured, there is a quality community alongside clans (coalitions,) and the entirety of the game is free to play. An android client is also in beta for those that would rather tap and drag.

I've really fallen for this little game, it scratches an itch of mine I'd long forgotten about and is also very approachable while allowing for a ton of variability. Anyone that has sat down at a tabletop war game will appreciate all of the possibilities while also being impressed at just how very streamlined the gameplay is. It definitely isn't for everyone, but if you found these factors at all appealing, I hope you'll give it a go.

Have a great week Lemmy!

Haven't done one of these in awhile. What are you guys up to now?

Anyone pick up anything good during the sale over the weekend?

Looks interesting. It has more of a fantasy-focus than its inspiration. Right now it's on sale on Steam, so it could be worth checking out.

On time as always, it's time to ask: What Have You Been Playing?

From Civ to Centauri and the Aztec to the Second American Civil War, everyone is asking: What have you been playing lately?

Monthly check in post! The last one was poorly worded. I just want to know what people have been playing on general, as far as strategy games.

Title! Let's get some activity going on in here. Lately I've been mostly just cycling skirmish battles in Dawn of War Soulstorm with the Unification mod, Men of War: Assault Squad 2 and Gates of Hell: Ostfront. Love to create a battle with the AI and just relax, but I'd like to play more multiplayer.
What are you playing?

Every strategy gamer either has a campaign they've just finished up or another they've embarked on. Let's share!
