Taking control of the Western Front as theater and field commander, players must make difficult decisions in both turn-based and real-time to preserve the national will of their faction in an immersive campaign that spans the length of the war and varies their actions can be extended beyond 1918.

Players can choose to start with the outbreak of conflict in 1914 or 1916, taking the lead at a crucial point where public support is waning and both sides are turning to new technologies such as aviation and tanks to break the stalemate.

As troops clash on the battlefield, commanders must carefully weigh their supplies and assess the prospects for the conflict to come. As both sides seek to push the enemy back, each battlefield reflects the changing seasons, showing the damage of previous battles as the cost of war takes its toll on the landscape.

In addition, players can improve their combat readiness with a special tutorial, hone their skills and create their own battles from scratch in Skirmish mode or compete with their fellow combatants in individual 1v1 multiplayer battles.
