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.

[h2]5 weeks left until launch![/h2] Launch day is almost here and we're putting the finishing touches on everything! We're cleaning up the barrels, dusting off hats, and making sure all of our units are in tip-top shape for your upcoming skirmishes and campaigns. We're so excited to share everything we've been working on with you! We'll be posting updates every step of the way so you can see what's happening behind the scenes. This week, Griffin made three new maps with the help of the community! If you want to get involved in the creation of future maps, be sure to stay tuned on Armchair Interactives youtube channel. We're also excited to announce the completion of the new Boshin factions! We've added Imperial Japan and the Shogunate to the game, and they come with new units that have unique playstyles, weapons, and mechanics. We worked hard to balance all the factions, and we promise there won't be any pay-to-win mechanics. We believe these new factions will add a whole new layer of excitement to the game that we haven't seen before! Plus, we've got new animal avatars too! Check out these cool new animal avatars we've added!

We've even made weapon upgrades a more conscious decision for players. And, to make things even more exciting, we've overhauled the entire user interface for the single player and multiplayer campaigns.

Players have been saying things like "they're too smart!" and "the meta has changed!" so we can't wait to see what you think of the new A.I. in the next update! We'll be spending the next week polishing everything up, making audio improvements, balancing the game, fixing bugs, and more. We're always listening to feedback from the community, so please keep giving us your thoughts and ideas. We're so proud of everything we've accomplished, and we can't wait to share it with you all in the upcoming weeks!
