History
Wargame Red Dragon (often abbreviated as WRD) was announced as the new flagship title for The Battlegrounds in May 2016. The game was originally planned to be released in the autumn of 2016, but has been delayed to January 2017. The game was initially presented as a re-imagining of the original Wargame, but the game is mostly a completely new game with many, but not all, familiar features of the original Wargame.
In the beginning, the game was planned to be released in May 2016, but the developers have delayed the release date. In an interview by Pocket Tactics, the developers said that the main reason for this delay was to get the graphics of the new version of the game to a higher level.
It was later reported that the delay was due to a legal dispute between the developers of The Battlegrounds, Centuria Games (developers of the original Wargame series), and The Battlegrounds developer Flaming Pear Games. Centuria Games claimed that their game, The Battlegrounds, had been plagiarized by Flaming Pear Games and that there was no way for them to get into the game. Despite this, Flaming Pear Games released WRD and claimed that they had acquired a copyright for the original Wargame and that all code in the game was their own.
In February 2017, Flaming Pear Games announced the game will be released in Q2 or Q3 2017.
Gameplay
The game has similar gameplay to Wargame: European Escalation. The game is fully 3D and the graphics have been drastically improved, compared to the original Wargame.
The game is a turn-based tactical game where the player can issue orders to units on the battlefield. The units can be ordered to move, fire, cast spells, deploy troops and reconnoiter the map. The player can have up to 200 units in the game. It is also possible to issue orders to non-player units in combat.
Most units in the game have different classifications, such as infantry
