Signal Officer

Every battle. Every hour. Ready for your table tonight.

Seventeen battles, played whole. Each great battle comes as a chain of linked games you can fight in order, from first contact to last light. How each one goes changes the games that follow: the scenario tells you which units arrive, are delayed or are lost later in the day.

Gettysburg across all three days: McPherson's Ridge, Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Culp's Hill and Pickett's Charge.

Antietam from the Cornfield at dawn to A. P. Hill's arrival.

Shiloh over both days, from Sherman at the church to the Hornet's Nest.

Then Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Franklin and eight more: 127 engagements in all.

A battle for the army you own. Tell it what's in your collection, and it suggests battles your figures can fight. Generated battles across seven theatres of the war give you a fresh fight every time, sized to your table.

Every fight has a reason. Each game tells you why it's being fought, what each side must do, and how the day went. You play the decision, not just the dice.

Real men in command. Every regiment, battery and brigade comes from the historical order of battle, with its real commander and an honest grade, from raw recruits to hard-bitten veterans.

Maps you can actually build. Clear maps with deployment zones and objectives, drawn to be set out with the terrain you already own.

Your rules. One app. No subscription. It works with whichever rules you play. Print any engagement on A4, or read it on screen at the table.

Early release: £15 while the next major update is still being built, then the price rises.
