#Strategic war in europe review manual
The 91 page game manual was clearly written, comprehensive, with a printed copy included with the boxed version.
The game was stable with logical controls. This review arises from taking the Central Powers in the 1914 strategic game to eventual victory in 1917 after completing more than thirty hours of play. There are also six battle games with smaller units and daily turns: 1914 Race to the Sea, 1915 Gallipoli, 1917 Cambrai, 1917 Middle East 1918 Flanders, the German 1918 offensive, and a 1918 Turkish battle. The game includes three strategic games fought with corps size units having approximately twelve turns per year: 1914 with the historic Central and Entente, 1914 with Italy honoring her treaty and joining the Central Powers and 1917 after the entry of the USA.
#Strategic war in europe review Pc
SCWWI is a PC based game with the player taking the side of the Central Powers or the Entente. Strategic Command WWI ( SCWWI) is the latest offering in the Strategic Command series by Fury Software. This is the first strategic level game I have ever played that effectively captured World War One combat. There is a big gap on the gaming shelf for a good PC World War One strategy game. In contrast, the number of World War Two, US Civil War, Napoleonic, and even ancient warfare games are legion. Many of the most horrible aspects of the last 100 years also arose from the ashes of World War One including Communism, Nazism, and the worldwide devastation of the Second World War.ĭespite the importance of the First World War both historically and militarily, very few computer games have successfully covered the land conflict. Many tools of modern war were first developed in World War One including radio, aircraft, submarines, tanks, gas warfare, and machine guns. Unlike World War Two, World War One was largely fought honorably with reasonable treatment of prisoners and minimal intentional damage to civilians.
Both France and Italy came very close to leaving the fight. The Central Powers forced the surrender and dismemberment of Russia and defeated Serbia, Romania, and Greece. Germany almost managed to win the war in 1914 and again in 1917/1918. Surface naval combat model is less impressive than land, air, and submarine combat. Passed Inspection: Flexible interface, multiplayer support, multiple scenarios (3 strategic and 6 battles), good AI, captures the strategic problems facing World War One commanders, good replay value due to multiple possible winning strategic strategies, one of the few good First World War PC games available.įailed Basic: Uses squares (instead of hexes).
