Battleplan features an 11-mission campaign that lets players experience key historical battles on the Western Front, culminating in the final push into Germany. The game emphasizes strategic planning and logistics, allowing players to command armor, aircraft, and infantry in combined arms combat with real-time orders.
Before each mission, an intelligence briefing presents a map where players devise their strategies and organize units. Terrain types and supply line locations play a crucial role in tactical decisions. During combat, players must quickly adjust tactics by seizing high ground, merging or splitting divisions, and calling in various types of air support.
Day and night cycles affect visibility, forcing players to continually adapt their approach.
The campaign spans multiple locations across the Western Front, including Cherbourg and Caen, advancing into Germany. Progress carries over between missions, with divisions gaining veterancy and officers unlocking new abilities. Players must manage losses and replenish forces throughout the campaign.
Requisition points enable the inclusion of historic divisions and the creation of custom formations, adding depth to army management.
