Strategic Command Classic: WWI

Strategic Command Classic: WWI is a strategy game covering the First World War across Europe and its other major theaters. You command forces through campaigns beginning with Germany’s offensive into France in August 1914 and ending with the final major battles in France and Flanders in 1918. The Eastern Front and the Italian, Balkan and Middle Eastern theaters are also represented.

Campaigns and scenarios

The game includes several major campaigns, including a large campaign with a map of Europe and the Atlantic measuring 384 × 102 tiles, or 39,168 tiles in total. The release also includes the Breakthrough! expansion, which adds scenarios and features for the game editor.

Warfare and research

The game represents 35 countries: 8 major and 27 minor belligerents. The Editor can allow up to 65 nations. Units can build trenches, and trench lines block further spotting under Fog of War. Artillery and Rail Guns accumulate shells each turn and can fire as many as they have available. Research includes areas such as Trench Warfare and Shell Production, while Recon Bombers can fly spotting missions behind enemy lines.

Morale and command

National Morale can rise or fall because of special events, combat losses, and the territory held by either side. It affects individual unit morale and can contribute to a nation's collapse if it falls below critical levels. Breakthrough! also introduces the armoured train, which replaces the rail gun in some scenarios, along with revised supply rules, new hotkeys, combat unit swapping and improved bombardment options.
