About This Game

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


  • Full 3D Graphics: The Sophie Games team has expanded to bring our tactical vision to life with glorious 3D environments and units.
  • Operational Campaigns: Command at a higher level. Manage divisions and corps, strike at supply lines, and coordinate your Grand Armée across Northern Italy, Central Europe, and the Russian steppe.
  • New Historical Eras: We are developing new mechanics and units for Medieval, Roman, and Three Kingdoms settings, expanding the battlefield across history.

Core Gameplay Features


  • Simultaneous Turn-Based Battles (WeGo): Experience the "fog of war" through tactical prediction. Issue orders simultaneously and watch the chaos of battle unfold in real-time combat.
  • Live & Correspondence Play: Fight intense real-time tactical battles or take your turns at your own pace with our flexible correspondence system.
  • Authentic Unit Progression: Start with core infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Unlock a full roster of 20 historical units, including British Congreve Rockets, Russian Licorne howitzers, and elite French Old Guard.
  • Competitive Matchmaking: Prove your worth in the ranked meta or enjoy balanced, equal-point battles in our unranked Classic mode.
