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.
Lines of Battle is driven by a global community of wargamers and history fans. Whether you are a veteran of the genre or a newcomer, you’ll find a vibrant home on our Discord, Reddit, and YouTube.
