Title: Battle Academy to Steam
Post by: Jarhead0331 on April 04, 2014, 02:13:07 PM
Looks like the next Slitherine title making the migration to Steam is going to be Battle Academy.  Can't say I'm surprised.

Showing up for a 4/16 release.

I recall seeing someone mention it recently.

Pretty sure it will garner a fair share of extra impulse sales on Steam.  It's a wargame, but doesn't exactly look like a traditional one enough to scare off the masses.

Worth mentioning, Slitherine has said that they will be giving Steam keys to folks who already own the game. Much like Panzer Corps

With Panzer Corps you went on the slitherine site and registered and got a key.

Slitherine has posted info on the Battle Academy forums for the process
