January, 1915. The Race to the Sea is over. The Great War has just begun. You are the commander of a single division in the meat grinder that is the Western Front. Lead your men over the top as you attempt to break the stalemate that is to claim the lives of millions over the course of years.

Hi all, Managed to carve out some time this past week to address a couple of issues. Bugfixes/Changes: • Tweaked tolerances of contested tiles during offensives. • Units will no longer act on their own during offensives unless the Operations officer is active or the unit has been flagged as automated. • Fixed potential crash when moving to new sector. • Fixed potential crash when recalling units when no dugouts are available. Thanks for playing!

Cool game, great vision, but I cant recommend the game in this state. Resolution is broken and doesnt have scaling for monitors above 1080p, dev has stated "unfortunately there's nothing I can do".

This is a wargame, its not a casual experience. If you come into this with that mindset then you will have a good time. It is slow, grindy, and simulation heavy. There are lot of small but very impactful choices happening minute to minute that all ask for your attention but you will have to pick and choose where to dedicate your time. It is a bloody slog, just like the Great War itself.

Having learned deep games that look like arse such as Dwarf Fortress I can absolutely see the appeal.

Quirky niche titles, my favourite. When they work, that is. And this one doesn't. For no obvious reason all the sounds in the game are completely broken for me; the music and all SFX have this grainy interference noise to them as if my headphones' cable has interference, yet nothing else on my PC is affected at all. It's blatant and painful on the ears, and I think I'm being reasonable in saying I don't want to play...
