One of the major features releasing with Update 1.5 is Move Markers. Giving the player the ability to order troops to a desired location on the battlefield. We hope this will greatly enhance the player experience as players will now have much more control. #ToTheTrenches #RTS #indieDev #GameDev

Today, on November 11th, we honor the end of World War One. A conflict that forever changed the course of history. This was a battle of immense scale and sacrifice, where nations clashed across trenches, fields, and seas.

It's very rare, but battles can result in a Draw. While testing, I experienced a Draw for the first time in a long time. The excitement from my last 3 soldiers traversing the battlefield trying to survive the enemy's artillery was some of the most fun I've had in a while. #indieDev #GameMaker #WW1
