What is Acceptable Losses?
You play an officer behind the lines in a single-player World War I strategy simulation structured around twenty days of command. By day, assign squads to patrols, trench repairs, and assaults; at night, review incident reports, medical updates, and intelligence. Morale, fatigue, weather, and enemy readiness affect mission results, and soldiers can die permanently.
