Noticing that on my internet travels , i figured out that some people here may be very interested by this game

Chapter Master's premise is that you are the Master of some random Space Marine chapter. It's your job to take care of your chapter and the sector it's in, and lead them to victory!

I edited it to avoid someone else screwing up ;)

I played a couple of games and it's got some really big potential, possibility of creation of your own chapter instead of just playing an existing one, with customisation of various settings to define your chapter, how the gene seeds are , specialities, advantages, disadvantages etc...

The space fleet battles are watchable in real time with various ships sprites duking it out automatically, not exactly great but it's servicable.
The planetary battles are played in turns and reports text telling you what's going on, who is shooting and who is dying, giving % of losses etc.. it's rather nice and complete (i would have prefered to see the space battles using the same text report system)

You have special events happening, discover stuff you may be advised to leave alone, can get some trouble yourself with the inquisition depending on what your chapter is doing , it's really lots of fun as it respect completely the whole wh40k mythos.

The only bad point is that it's crashing a bit when you start to get fun , and more importantly the window is rather small and the text often barely readable (especially the green text for the whole chapter creation, it's so small it's painful to read).

No idea if it's going to be developed more, i sure hope so considering the big potential it has. The FAQ mention it's updated often, so i guess the download link may lead to a new version without warning.

Nothing to install, you just extract the zip and launch the game executable then play.
But don't worry about losing too much time, it's very early status, several things aren't yet working or implemented so it's more to test and see the potential it has (assuming you like 4x style of games of course).

I would Like to Add ....

the way this Game is Made ....
If One took their time, One COULD make a nice OFPWH40K Campaign/sp/mp missions out of this...

What I mean is, to more or less take screen shots of ones SM chapter, and using it as their base story line ...

As we already have many of the chapters and enemy forces (even some Ships) not saying to go to town in a 100 mission campaign .. but some kind of story line of "player's" Chapter going to Planet-X and raid/purging/etc the Planet-X

If said chapter only sent 90 marines or 50 and 5 dreads etc ... then that's all there is on the map for the "Player/s" to use...

;)

"Oh the Missions that are flooding the Brain cell now" !!!!!!!
