Turn-Based Combat with a Twist
No plan survives first contact with the enemy, and F&M places you in the same position as historical generals: anticipating your opponent’s movement.
The game’s innovative “simultaneous turn system” requires careful consideration of your opponent’s potential actions. Instead of passively waiting to react to a move already made, you must actively consider all possibilities, deciding which tactical choice your opponent is most likely to make… and which you can accept not responding to. Withdraw to better ground, vigorously attack, or simply dig in and see what your opponent does – the choice is yours, and your orders are final.
Campaign Mode
Play through four unique campaigns including the Franco-Prussian War, Crimean War, Austro-Prussian War, and Caucasus Theater. Each campaign is playable from either perspective and can be fought in multiplayer against a friend! Customize your divisions and personalize your troops using the all-new regiment skill tree. The unique historical event system, as well as a military doctrine system, makes each campaign playthrough completely unique.
The new linear scenario system also makes its debut, which allows you to battle through strings of historical battles, recreating famous campaigns such as the Expedition of the Thousand.
