What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our digital platoon-level tactical game is based on our award-winning platoon-level board game series World At War 85. We want to allow our community and the public the chance to provide us with as much feedback and input into the game system while we are still doing development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Six to ten months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our plan is to expand the game with additional features such as extended enhanced sound effects, voice-overs, additional weapons, unit types, weapon systems, nationalities, special events, and a battle generator that allows players to design their own scenarios from different forces and time periods.

Our scenarios will allow for random start setups and custom player setups giving more extended replay value.

We will gradually release battle packs that will add between 8 to 12 scenarios from many battlefields across the world.

Throughout the development, we will be enhancing the User Interface and improving the AI tactics”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game will include two exciting scenarios of the United States and Warsaw Pact forces. These two scenarios can be played from either side.

Currently, World At War 85 Digital is fully playable with AI and multiplayer and is only limited by the available scenarios.” Currently, World At War 85 is in a stage where most game features are fully implemented with several updates to handle the animations. The AI is mostly been worked out but is still being improved.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game price will increase as more battle packs are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Currently, World At War 85 Digital developers are very active on the forums, Discord, and Facebook gathering feedback and bug reports to improve the game. We will work with the community to ensure the best gaming experience we could provide. There is an in-build report system in the game that allows better community reporting. Also, players can communicate on the Steam forum or our forums at https://forums.lnlpublishing.com/forums/world-at-war-85-series.8/

About This Game


World At War 85 Digital is a dynamic platoon-level combat computer game based on the award-winning board games of the same series name. World At War 85 Digital is fast and furious platoon-level combat set in 1985. In an alternate history of World War III, when the Warsaw Pact armies storm across the border of East Germany in a powerful attempt to seize West Germany and the whole of Free Europe.



World At War 85 Digital system features a unique combat system that involves both attacking units and defending units, which keeps both players engaged throughout the game. Initiative, formation activation, random turn length, close air support, and air cover are all integrated smoothly. You command and control your forces including air support and you will fight in desperate close assaults. World At War 85 Digital series has you covered with a variety of battles and theaters on every front.



Our game manual and module booklets can be viewed online and downloaded and our tutorial videos viewed on our Online Library site. Our game manual comes in a variety of PDF format for free. Our manuals have lots of examples to illustrate the game mechanics. Our motto is “Play the Game, Not the Rules”. We understand that the best way to learn a game system is to be shown. We achieve this with our extensive play-list of “boot camp” training videos, available on YouTube, that walk you through the entire system rule by rule.



We plan on having many DLC available and our DLC Battle Generator with Scenario Edition puts the power into the player's hand to make any type of scenario or campaign possible. It’s platoon-level tactical combat at its best!
