Grand Tactician Releases in Early Access on the 21st of August.
A Very Special Dispatch, July 21, 2020.
Gen'l,
Sir, we know you have patiently waited for the order to attack. Now it's the time to make the preparations, as the attack is imminent!
On the 21st of August Grand Tactician: The Civil War 1861-1865 will be released on Steam, in Early Access, at the price of 39,99 (EUR/USD), some 10% less than the final release price (44,90 EUR/USD).
This version of the game will include three different campaign starting points (1861, 1862, and 1863), plus eleven (11) stand-alone battles.

Why Early Access?
Though the game is playable, we are still hard at work to make the players' experience the best it can be. Specifically, due to the complexity of the game, bugs are still there, and the campaign game-play is not yet balanced well enough for us to be completely happy with it. A save option during battles is also one of the main improvements that the team aims at introducing as soon as possible.
For players waiting for a more refined and complete game play experience, waiting for the final release is recommended.
The game will be in Early Access for approximately the rest of the year - until we are happy with it. The time will be used for bug-fixing, balancing, adding more battle maps, and an 1864 campaign scenario.
Finally, during the early access period, players' feedback will be carefully monitored to improve the game-play experience.
After the final release, a post-release roadmap will be published, including additional features, maps, and playable content – which will be free to all owners of the game.
The soundtrack of Grand Tactician is a feature we are particularly proud of. Including only thematic songs of the period and performed by Wasel and the Weasels, the soundtrack will also be sold separately and in a special bundle with the game. This will allow listening to the songs also outside of the game, and supporting the talented volunteer musicians.
In case you want to know more about the development of Grand Tactician, don't hesitate to contact the team.
I am, sir, Your very ob't se'v't,
O. KEPPELMÜLLER, Gen'l. Engineer Corps.
