Fire & Maneuver

The Armchair Historian brings you a new turn-based strategy game set in the Victorian Era. As muskets become rifles and infantry is confronted by modernizing artillery, it is imperative to adapt to a rapidly changing battlefield. This is a new age, not of courage and chivalry, but of Blood and Iron.

[h1]We're excited to announce the release of the Boshin War DLC for Fire and Maneuver! [/h1] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315550/Fire_and_Maneuver__Expansion_Boshin_War This new expansion takes place in Japan during the Boshin War, a period of civil war and political upheaval that ultimately led to the end of the samurai era and the formation of the modern Japanese state. Players will have the opportunity to command new Japanese and Imperial forces, including samurai, imperial soldiers, and powerful artillery units. The DLC features a brand new campaign with multiple branching paths, as well as new scenarios and battles set in the unique terrain of Japan. The Boshin War DLC features two new factions: the Shogunate and the Imperial Court. The Shogunate represents the forces loyal to the last Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, who sought to preserve the feudal system and maintain his power. They field highly disciplined and professional troops, including samurai warriors armed with traditional weapons such as katana swords and yari spears.

They field a mix of conscripted peasants and samurai who have adopted modern firearms and tactics. While lacking the traditional martial prowess of the Shogunate, the Imperial forces make up for it with sheer numbers and a willingness to embrace new technology.

We've also added Japanese voicelines and a new user interface tailored to the setting of the Boshin War. The new soundtracks that have been added to the game further enhance the immersive experience of this pivotal moment in Japanese history. We hope you enjoy this exciting new addition to Fire and Maneuver, and we look forward to hearing your feedback as you lead your armies to victory in the Boshin War!
