About Warfare 1917

Warfare 1917 is a classic strategy game that thrusts you into the grueling trench battles of World War I. Choosing to lead either the British or German forces through their respective campaigns, your objective is to push the frontline forward and claim victory. Unlike fast-paced action titles, success here hinges on resource management, timing, and maintaining the morale of your troops as they weather continuous enemy fire.

Every match is a tug-of-war where deploying the right units at the right time is critical. You will need to carefully balance aggressive pushes with tactical retreats, ensuring your forces are properly entrenched before calling in devastating fire support. Victory can be achieved by either capturing the enemy's trench or completely breaking their morale, offering multiple strategic paths to win each engagement.

Controls

  • Left Click: Select and deploy units from the bottom menu, including riflemen, assault troops, and machine gunners.
  • Click Active Units: Order squads to advance to the next trench or hold their current position.
  • Fire Support: Click the support icons to call in artillery strikes, mortars, or gas attacks once they are unlocked.

Tips

  • Watch the Morale Bar: Forcing the enemy to retreat by draining their morale is often faster and less costly than a full territorial conquest. Use suppressive fire from machine guns to break their spirit.
  • Cycle Your Squads: Do not let battered units sit on the frontline. Order damaged squads to fall back to a safe trench and rotate fresh infantry forward to maintain pressure.
  • Upgrade Wisely: While saving for a tank is tempting, investing your early experience points into basic riflemen survivability and reduced cooldowns for artillery will make the initial levels much easier.

Whether you are commanding a slow, methodical push or a rapid assault, this game rewards careful planning and tactical patience.
