Warfare 1917
Introduction to Warfare 1917
ConArtist created this web-based strategy romp and Armor Games brought it online. You command British or German forces and order squads into mud-filled trenches. You place infantry units and send shells over enemy lines to seize ground and sap their will.
You start with foot soldiers, and each victory grants you stronger weapons. First a machine gun crew enters the field. Next tanks join the fray. Key wins bring artillery pieces. Campaign maps replay famous clashes, and a custom mode lets you build fresh battles.
Fans praise the gritty trench scenes and tight supply of troops, and the game mixes smart planning with scarce resources and real events. It delivers lessons and fun at once. Its success led to a follow-up set in another great struggle. Warfare 1944 runs the same hands-on tactics into World War Two.
