What is Strategic Command: World War I?

This turn-based, hex-grid strategy game covers World War I through three campaigns set in 1914 or 1917. You command either side by moving and entrenching units, fighting at sea, pursuing diplomacy, and researching weapons as the Entente and Central Powers fight for victory.

For you if...

  • +you like planning slow, turn-based campaigns on multiple fronts
  • +you prefer historical strategy without detailed resource bookkeeping
  • +you want diplomacy and research alongside military operations

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast battles instead of drawn-out warfare
  • −you want a larger map for detailed maneuvers
  • −you expect several units to occupy one hex

What players say

88% of 393 reviews are positive

Players praise how the rules fit World War I, along with the historical detail and manageable resource decisions. Some find the map too cramped for maneuver and dislike the one-unit-per-hex rule.
