Command infantry, tanks, artillery, and air support across two classic tug-of-war campaigns where the front line is always shifting and momentum can turn in an instant. Push through the trenches of the First World War, then lead larger, faster-moving offensives in the Second World War, as you take control of British, German, American, and Wehrmacht forces. Each campaign plays differently, demanding its own tactics, timing, and approach to breaking the enemy line. === Warfare 1917 === Fighting historical battles in and out of the trenches of France, Warfare 1917 sees you play as either the British or German Army in a campaign of attrition. - Deploy troops and control the trenches! - Make use of the first tanks used in war to dominate the battlefield. - Break the enemy morale with fire support and take their ground. - Spend command points to upgrade your troops and fire support. - Set up custom battles with your choice of units, trenches, barbed wire and land mines! === Warfare 1944 === Taking to the fields of battle in Warfare 1944, you’ll choose between the U.S Forces or the Wehrmacht.
