On The Western Front

Grand Strategy on a Small Scale

Mud and Blood

• Command your men down to the platoon level. Build trenches, dig tunnels, set barbed wire, and more in a futile attempt to break through the enemy lines.
  
• Make use of different unit types to solve the stalemate, from riflemen and machine gunners to engineers and tunnelling units.
  
• Multiple shell types allow astute commanders to remain flexible. From gas shells to shrapnel, different situations call for different shells.
  
• Weather and time of day will affect everything, including visibility, morale, and the structural integrity of your fortifications. Make sure to maintain them properly!

Noble Sacrifice

• Earn Valour from your superior officers by sending your men to their deaths during full-scale offensives. Both inflicted and sustained casualties can be used to unlock upgrades - lessons learned through blood sacrifice.
  
• Perform trench raids and capture enemy prisoners in order to capture intelligence.
  
• Send pilots on reconnaissance missions in order scout the enemy lines and keep an eye on enemy activities.
  
• If you can't break the enemy lines above ground, go underneath them and set mines that can be detonated at will.
