Has this been on anyones radar?

We realise the size of the mountain ahead of us and so we are dividing the project into a series of Chapters so you can dive into the action as soon as possible.

The first chapter "OVERLORD" will feature the events immediately following the D-Day Landings of June 1944 and depict the infantry of the British Army and German Heer.

Subsequent chapters of Traction Wars will bring new features, gameplay, levels, nations and theatres of operation.

The WW2 genre has been done to death over the last few decades but very few titles if any have "done it right" in my opinion.

All the noise about this ticks all the boxes in my opinion. The history of this war and the people involved deserves respect with their stories being told accurately and this game seems to have an element of love in that respect.

Interesting. Seems like a better looking version of WW2OL, with a more concentrated theatre. In development a very long time though, no idea of release date yet?

The are making progress from what I can gather and development has been slow but I think is a small dev team but they do seem to be focusing on quality.

I'm semi interested as well but wonder how their Free to Play and No Micro-transactions model works?

As it says on the tin.

At present time, they are developing this independently with no outside funding. We all know what a mess Kickstarter can cause.

Downside is, development time can be extended.

There are no plans for a paywall at this point.

Sure, they will have to gather revenue to pay the bills somewhow but how is not known at this point.
