What is Skirmish Line?
Skirmish Line is a top-down, single-player strategy game in which you command Allied soldiers defending against Japanese forces in the Pacific during World War II. You build trenches, call in artillery, and recruit and upgrade semi-autonomous soldiers. Its modes include defending successive positions with the option to retreat, advancing to secure terrain without a fallback, and managing a squad across campaign missions.
