Strategic Command World War I

Strategic Command: World War I brings the franchise's hex-based engine to the Great War. Relive the conflict from the opening shots of 1914 through the final offensives, with all main aspects and theatres covered: the Western Front, the Eastern Front, Italy, the Balkans, and the Middle East.

France, Italy, Russia, Serbia, the UK, and the USA face Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire across the flagship campaign, with Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Romania, and others likely to join one side or the other. The British Empire's contribution is reflected throughout. New unit types include ANZACs, Colonial Corps, Mountain Corps, and Reconnaissance Bombers spotting for artillery; Naval Mines protect or harass sea lanes; entrenchment improves through Trench Warfare research.

Five campaigns cover 1914 Call to Arms, 1914 Triple Alliance (with Italy joining the Central Powers), 1914 March on Paris, 1917 Fate of Nations, and 1918 Ludendorff Offensive. Diplomacy and political intrigue undermine enemy will to resist; technology research unlocks tanks, aeroplanes, submarines, and aircraft carriers. PBEM++ multiplayer with a challenge lobby, AI-controlled friendly majors, dynamic movement, naval cruise, and enhanced fog of war round out the modernized engine.
