Our take on To End All Wars
The emphasis on scale and historical detail sets expectations for a broad campaign rather than a narrowly focused battlefield game. The game includes only one tutorial and two main whole-war scenarios, so its variety comes mainly from strategic decisions within those campaigns.
What is To End All Wars?
Command one of the major powers in a World War One strategy game covering Europe, the Middle East and other regions from 1914 to 1918.
The map contains more than 3,000 regions with varied terrain, climate and development. Campaigns use production, diplomacy, research, weather, attrition, supply, fog of war and front lines. Players organize forces from brigades through armies, appoint historical leaders, and direct infantry, cavalry, artillery, aircraft and naval units. Regional decision cards and historical events create decisions involving espionage, uprisings, foreign intervention and technological change. The game includes a tutorial and two whole-war scenarios: one beginning in August 1914 and another allowing custom opening war plans. The manual is available only in English.
