The Project
An experienced Team
A portal to History
Wars and Battles is a breakthrough: a new generation of strategy games combining the sophistication of tabletop wargames with the ease of
new devices such as smartphones. With your
support, Wars and Battles will not be just another video game, but a meeting point: we will
gather both wargamers and gamers that love
strategy but are disappointed by the limitations
of tablet/smartphone strategy games and the
complexity of PC wargames. Our goal is to build
a solid community around our passion.
To design Wars and Battles, we built a team made
of well-known wargame veterans (Frédéric
Bey, Nicolas Stratigos…), military history experts
(Colonel Michel Goya…) and a skilled team of
programmers, artists, game designers... We have
created an exclusive system, adapting the rules
corresponding to historical contexts accurately
reconstituted in our games. The game also manages a wide range of parameters, including reinforcements, supply, replenishments, fortification,
unit orientation, ambushes, paratroopers,…
Numerous wargames will be proposed on
the Wars and Battles portal: two battles will
be released in December 2013 (Gettysburg
1863 and Normandy 1944) while five additional opuses are in process, to be discovered on our website www.warsandbattles.
com. Get ready to command up to 400
land units and 50 air units, themselves moved by 130 characteristics, over 20 types of
terrain, under up to 15 scenarios per battle.
Support us and pre-order the game from July, 15th 2013 to August, 25th 2013

A tribute to Gettysburg: 150 years after...
The battle
At the beginning of July 1863, the Confederate General
Lee wants to take advantage of his recent successes to
start a second invasion of the North.
President Lincoln wants to block his plans and sends the
Army of the Potomac, under the leadership of General
Meade, to meet him.
June 30, 1863, a Confederate infantry brigade, searching
for new shoes, approaches Gettysburg, a Pennsylvania
town of 2,400 souls, and bumps accidentally into a
skirmisher screen of US cavalrymen. The information
is reported to General Heth who decides to send men as
early as the next day to “recover their shoes”.
The skirmish quickly turns to a real battle that will lead
90,000 Union soldiers and 72,000 Confederate soldiers
supported by their respective artillery to fight around
the town of Gettysburg. From July 1-3, 1863, this little
corner of Pennsylvania will become the site of one of the
Civil War’s bloodiest battle and a decisive confrontation
for the future of the United States.
As a tribute to the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg, this
battle will be the first released with Wars and Battles.

Press release - For immediate release
Miami, June 26, 2013 – Wars and Battles, a revolutionary turn-based strategy games will be available through
Kickstarter from July, 15th 2013 to August, 25th 2013
On July, 15th 2013 a Kickstarter will be released dedicated to Wars and Battles. It will be the introduction of an ambitious
turn-based strategy game combining the sophistication of tabletop wargames with the ease of use of new devices such as
smartphones and tablets
A portal to many battles. Wars and Battles will be launched in December 2013 with two battles (Gettysburg 1863 and Normandy 1944), and five additional battles in the pipeline will be released in the first half 2014 (Austerlitz 1805, Kharkov
1943, Market Garden 1944, The Korean War 1950-51, October War 1973).
An experienced team. Wars and Battles has been designed by board wargaming veterans: Nicolas Stratigos, editor in chief
of the famous Vae Victis wargames magazine, and Frédéric Bey, a specialist on Napoleonian wargames, together with officers
and historians. The development team is made up of experienced artists and programmers, plus the veteran game designer
Pascal Luban.
Realism at its highest. To make this wargame as realist as possible, every unit (and there are hundreds in every battle) is
defined by more than 130 characteristics such as its life points, quality, movements, attack points, movement capacity per
terrain, command bonus, replenishment capacity, supply consumption, anti-tank and anti-air characteristics, capacity to
perform strategic movements and engage in pursuits, etc.). Most of the rules of tabletop wargames are embedded within
Wars and Battles.
An easy and intuitive gameplay for everyone. Our game is developed for tablets, smartphones, PC and MAC, implying
that the complete range of sophisticated rules inherent to traditional board wargames is coupled with the fantastic ease of
tablets and smartphones: the gameplay is immersive and the games accessible to everyone.
We are on Kickstarter! Everyone on the team is incredibly excited about the possibilities this Kickstarter will bring to
Wars and Battles. It is an amazing source of energy, awareness and funding.
About Kermorio. Kermorio is an indie studio based in Miami (Florida) and Luxembourg, with a development team based in
Paris (France). Kermorio’s objective is to create, with Wars and Battles, a video game that will be a meeting point for gamers fond
of strategy games, history and battles. Our dream is to build a solid community around our passion.

What is Wars and Battles ?
Our vision
Wars and Battles is a project with a huge ambition: to
reconcile the sophistication of traditional wargames
with the ease of use of new devices such as smartphones
and tablets. This game is not only made for wargamers,
but for all the gamers that love strategy but are annoyed
both by tablet/smartphone strategy games limitations
and by PC wargames complexity.
We hope that with your support, Wars and Battles will
not be just another video game, but a meeting point
for gamers fond of strategy games, history and battles.
Our dream is to build a solid community around our
passion.
Main menu
A portal to History
Wars and Battles is not only a game, it is a portal: it
will be launched in December 2013 with two battles
(Gettysburg 1863 and Normandy 1944).
Then, we plan to launch at least one battle every two
months and we have already five additional battles in
the pipeline (Austerlitz 1805, Kharkov 1943, Market Garden 1944, The Korean War 1950-51 and
October War 1973) that will all be launched in the
first half of 2014.
Presentation of the battle - Gettysburg 1863
Realism for everyone
Our game manages more than 20 types of terrain, up
to 400 land units, 50 air units and 15 different scenarios. The game also manages anti-tank and anti-air
weapons, weather, paratroopers, reinforcements, supply, replenishments, fortification, unit orientation
and most of the sophisticated rules that you can find
in any tabletop wargame.
The difference with Wars and Battles is that it has
been designed both by tabletop wargames designers
and veteran video game designers who have paid particular attention to the simplicity required by casual
gamers.

Brochure - page 2
An immersive gameplay
The masterpiece of Wars and Battles is our exclusive
rules system. We developed it to give Wars and Battles
the opportunity to incorporate rules adapted to many
historical contexts. You will have the opportunity to
use jets and anti-air missiles when playing October
War (1973), while line-formed regiments and cavalry
charges will take the lead during Austerlitz (1805) and
Gettysburg battles (1863).
To make these wargames as realistic as possible, every unit
(and we have hundreds in every battle) is characterized
by more than 130 characteristics such as its life points,
quality, attack and defense capacities, movement, terrain
and command bonus, replenishment capacity, supply
consumption, anti-tank and anti-air characteristics, capacity to perform strategic movements and to do pursuits,
and so on: most of the rules you know in traditional tabletop wargames are embedded within Wars and Battles.
In order to accelerate the game flow, each turn is divided into sub-steps called impulses where a player will
be allowed to give a limited number of orders to move
his units and/or to launch attacks. This system increases
the back and forth between players and makes the game
more intense.

3D and 2D views
Wars and Battles will propose 2D and 3D views, both
views being complementary.
The 3D view is very appealing and will provide the
player only with the key information (attack points
for attackers and defense points for opponents) but
it will also be particularly helpful to experienced wargamer to understand the landform of Gettysburg
1863 and the mountain roads of the Korean peninsula (Korean War 1950).
The 2D view will give the gamers the opportunity to
have more details on the units and to embrace most
of the map at a glance.

Beyond History
We pay the greatest attention to historical details: our
first team member was a historian. But our game is not
only a tribute to history...
On our team we also love Sci-Fi and Heroic Fantasy
and we expect that with the success of Wars and Battles
we will be able to offer you other worlds and other environnments.
Detailed description of the Operation Perch scenario
Cross platform game
Wars and Battles will be released on the most popular
platforms: PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone and Android tablets and smartphones. More than that, your battles
will be saved in the Cloud so you will be able to start
a new game on your PC and to continue on your
sofa with your tablet or out of your home with your
smartphone.
Exciting achievements
You will start Wars and Battles as a Soldier and, with
time, experience and victories you may be promoted to
General or even to Commander in Chief. This will not
be an easy path as to succeed you will have to play many
battles and to win most of them through limited, tactic
or strategic victories.
During your game, some of your achievements will
award you a medal. With skills, time and luck, you may
be able to nail dozens of medals on your chest… and
your first medal could be the Kickstarter Backer!
Social networks
With Wars and Battles you will also share your battles
and achievements with your friends through Facebook or Twitter.

Solo game
You will be able to play Wars and Battles as a single player
thanks to the Artificial Intelligence we are currently designing. If the stretch goals of our Kickstarter campaign
are met, we will be able to dramatically improve this Artificial Intelligence by respecting the tactical and strategic schemes of every army and commander, as well as
their evolution over time.
Unique multiplayer
experience
Wars and Battles will include an asynchronous mode,
a traditional one in turn-based strategy game. But
with Wars and Battles, you will be able not only to
play against your friends or any opponents in the
world but you will also play with them.
For example when playing Normandy 1944, you
will lead the American army while one of your friend
will play the British, against one or two opponents
that will play the Germans. You will realize how fighting together is a tough experience and needs coordination and skills.
Wars and Battles will also propose you a unique feature: the ‘Blitz mode’ to play in real timing against an
opponent. In this blitz mode, you will have a limited
timing to decide the move and the combat of your
units and will have to take the right decisions quickly,
such as a General in his headquarter.

The team
Wars and Battles team is made of both video game specialists and wargame veterans. Our project leaders, game
designer, lead programmer and lead artist have all worked for major studios such as Electronic Arts, Activision
and Ubisoft. The opportunity to work on a new project
where we are able to create our game for once is a fantastic motivation for the team.
But the specificity of Wars and Battles is the importance
given to historians and wargame designers. By chance,
some of the best French wargame specialists are supporting our project, such as Nicolas Stratigos, editor in chief
of the famous wargame magazine Vae Victis and Frederic
Bey, an expert of the Napoleonic battles and author of
the Jours de Gloire series. Many of our wargame designers
are also engaged in the French army and have brought
their experience of combat to the wargame design.
Altogether, our team cumulates more than 50 years of
experience in video games and 100 years in wargames.
Support us on Kickstarter from July 15 to August 25
You can get the latest news on www.warsandbattles.com
Everyone in the studio is extremely excited about the possibilities our Kickstarter
will bring to Wars and Battles. It will allow our team to revive the rich tabletop wargame experience on new hardware such as tablets and smartphones.
We have a primary goal of $50,000 and we expect to reach stretch goals: each step
will see additional battles being released, an improvement of our Artificial Intelligence, new languages available, the development of a scenario editor, etc.
In addition to Wars and Battles copies, each backer will receive amazing extra content:
PDF or paper version of our Battlepedia, goodies such as medals, dog-tags, T-shirts
and also the opportunity to propose and vote for the 8th battle to come and even to
choose the 9th and 10th battles.
From First Class to General, all contributions will be more than welcome!
The higher it goes, the better the project gets! Support us on Kickstarter!

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours of gameplay can be expected?
With more than 10 scenarios per battle and between 20 minutes and 10 hours per scenario and per side, we
assess that it will take more than 100 hours to complete all scenarios for both sides for just one battle. With
7 battles currently in the production pipeline, gamers will never be short of Wars and Battles challenges.
Can Wars and Battles be played solo and multiplayers?
Yes, Wars and Battles can be played solo or with other players. When solo, the gamer will play against an
Artificial Intelligence: this will give him the capability to play when disconnected from the network or just
to relax alone without the stress of playing against other gamers. The multiplayer game will give the player
the possibility to play against his friends or with them against other opponents or against the IA.
Can such a sophisticated strategy game be played on a smartphone?
Yes it can! We, too, have been surprised to see how well our concept is suited for smartphones. The first
enabler is that since a player has to concentrate his attention on a particular combat, generally involving a
maximum of 8 or 10 hexes, the size of such a combat perfectly suits the size of a smartphone screen. The second enabler is the fantastic ease of use provided by the 3D engine that brings a lot of fluidity to the player’s
movements and gives him the opportunity to embrace the full battlefield in a few finger swipes.
What languages will Wars and Battles be in?
The initial release will be in English and French. If our Kickstarter raises enough funding, we will also include Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Japanese and Chinese!
We are looking for ways of translating the game for our fans all over the rest of the world in other languages
to give access to Wars and Battles to the largest audience possible.
How does the multiplatform work exactly?
All the data related to Wars and Battles will be saved in the cloud. This means that when the player connects
his device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the network, it will log in to his Wars and Battles account to load
his saved battles.
What about supported platforms, other platforms and system requirements?
Wars and Battles supports Windows PC, Macintosh OS X, iOS (iPad and iPhone) and Android. We could
also launch Wars and Battles on Surface, Blackberry 10, and also consoles Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft or
Ouya consoles, but we will wait for gamer’s feedback before starting these adaptations.
It’s too early in development to give hardware requirements. Our target is to run on older machines and to
support a wide variety of hardware. We will be announcing the system requirements at a later date, so stay
tuned for an announcement down the road.
When is the game expected to be finished?
We are aiming to release the two first battles on iOS in December 2013. Other battles will be released during the first semester of 2014.
