The Game
Just Tactics
The online war game that leaves nothing to chance.
Customize your squads, build your deck, attack!
Just Tactics is a turn based, 1v1 online multiplayer, tactical war game that plays much like a table top game, with the addition of Fog of War.
We made Just Tactics because we grew up playing table top war games, and wanted to be able to play with friends that are now spread around the globe. Also, we think that there aren't enough turn based games available these days, games that really make you think, and give you the opportunity to think.
Just Tactics is very much playable, but, not complete/polished. As more art assets, features, new units, and new cards get added, the price of the game will rise. If you purchase now, you get all future DLC for free. There is no "pay to win". Give it a try for free and discover all of the tactical goodness in Just Tactics.
The Company
Hit the Sticks LLC is a talented team of engineers and artists. We are based in Devon (a suburb of Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA. We were founded in 2005. Back then we ran online video game tournaments, using other developer's games. Unfortunately, we discovered the pitfall of online gaming: it is easy to cheat. The tournament hosting software that we had created was awesome. But, in-game cheats such as aimbots and wallhacks were ruining everyone's eSports experience. We decided that we wanted to make our own games, fun games, games that you cannot cheat at. Now our mission is to make fun and thought provoking games. Our first game is Just Tactics, please check it out.
