Slitherine diffuse une huitaine de jolies captures d’écrans pour montrer entre autre les graphismes de ce futur wargame tactique en tour par tour qui pourrait s’avérer une intéressante surprise. Le thème sera pour commencer celui de la Normandie, les combats seront de l’ordre de l’escarmouche, et la grille orthogonale comme la description générale ne manqueront pas de rappeler le sympathique Battle Academy.
L’accent sera mis sur les blindés, le gameplay sera rapide, on pourra avoir des héros, faire progresser ses unités, et globalement le jeu devrait comporter assez d’options diverses pour offrir de nombreuses possibilités tactiques, donc des parties prenantes.

Slitherine reveals massive 2022 lineup during Home of Wargamers Live+ winter showcase
Epsom, Dec 14th 2021 – Slitherine ends a stunning year on a high with a second Home of Wargamers Live event. Just days after releasing Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector on Xbox, Windows and PlayStation to widespread acclaim, the British publisher steps up again; announcing three massive new games, additional content for existing franchises and lifts the veil on previously announced Stargate: Timekeepers and Broken Arrow gameplay.
“Our events are all about establishing a connection with the players and the community”, said Marco A. Minoli, CMO of Slitherine. “In a world that pre-records pretty much everything, we have made the choice to broadcast weekly live shows where we answer questions, engage with fans, and give information in a very direct way. Twice a year Home of Wargamers brings this notion to a wider, more comprehensive level; by involving media, influencers and, of course, the public in an all-encompassing update on what we are working on. We are proud to share our vision with anyone who wants to stop by and listen”.
Headquarters World War II
During the Home of Wargamers Live plus event, Slitherine announced Headquarters World War II, a new turn-based platoon-level wargame set in the aftermath of the D-Day landings. Headquarters World War II is a fast-paced turn-based strategy game where your battlefield tactics are as important as your army management skills. Experience both sides of the war, battling in Europe as the USA, the UK, or Germany. Storm bunkers, occupy houses, win tank duels, or set up ambushes for the enemy armor. All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style with state of the art graphics. HeadQuarters World War II will be available in 2022 both for PC and consoles.
