Le Mal de Moscou – The White Plague of 1812Press kit

About the game

October 1812. Moscow burns, Napoleon's Grande Armée turns for home… and something follows it out of the snow.

Le Mal de Moscou – The White Plague of 1812 is a Napoleonic strategy game against the undead. A hundred thousand men marched out of Moscow. Bring home as many as you can.

What it will include

  • Lead the Grande Armée on the retreat from Moscow, starting the day it leaves the city
  • Your army at its real size, around 100,000 men, and every single soldier has a name and a story
  • One living world: zoom from a period map of 1812 Europe all the way down to a single soldier. No separate battle mode: the fight is wherever the dead reach your columns
  • Fight the Napoleonic way: squares, volleys, artillery, mortars, cavalry and rockets against ever-growing hordes
  • A plague that starts somewhere new every run. Your scouts only report what they've seen, never the whole truth
  • March wherever you want across a real Europe, raid towns for supplies, make hard calls, and bring home as many men as you can

Still early in development: all footage and screenshots are in-engine and work in progress.
