Strategic Command Classic: WWI

First,It is a great game..But as for right now.. SC-WW2, if you can switch it over to the " *community pack " IT adds more flavor to the game, and switch it to the NATO symbols is FANTASTIC , it gives a map a MUCH clearer aspect of just making it easier on your eyes. *All of which is FREE... But, now on this game SC-Classic WW1,of which i got it on sale.. Did work for me...But,for the Breakthrough would not load... But, as for now BOTH games 1917-1918 and Breakthrough...Is NOT working something with the "setting" ...ERROR : This game req. a display setting with at least 16-bit color. Please check the Control Panel -> Display Option....I have TRIED w/Steam to get a refund, but, I surpasses the 2hr limit...So now am stuck with trying to find a way to fix this...When I launch it..the game opens with a splash guard but the game does not open...still trying to get it to work...Help anyone...lol.

Grand strategy where you take the part of the central powers or the allies, simple to play but challenging to win and come up with good strategies. A must have if you have strategic command classic World War 2; a much larger map with more units, it plays quite differently with trench warfare, airships and very few tanks. It takes longer to play (a least a solid day). Heaps of very interesting pop ups, decisions the player makes and history.

The game cheats, it's as simple as that. It's blatant, too. Something like an artillery unit can be miles away from any of it's support, completely surrounded and the combined beating of up to 8 full infantry divisions has almost no effect. Not "once or twice for super units". Constantly, for every unit. And in spite of being completely surrounded? If you don't somehow manage to completely destroy it in a single turn, it will magically restock and get replacements, so you have to start all over next turn... tying up way too many units and resources way too long. This seems to be a recurring theme with this series... in the WWII game I had to beat on a Japanese unit that sneaked into Anchorage, Alaska with 4 other units including 2 Marine divisions, artillery a cruiser and a battleship for 75% of the allotted game time to finally destroy it. Meanwhile my reinforcements are seemingly based on the AI's whim, no matter how close to home bases and with open supply lines. My artillery? Fires once with almost no effect. Theirs? Fires multiple times and all but makes units disappear or set them up to be wiped out by repeated infantry assaults. My submarines? Might take 1 or 2 HP off a n…

does not work anymore It wont start and says outdated software

Play the game once and now it won't start. Don't buy.

Bought this after having played the 2019 remaster of this game and honestly this is just as worth it for the absolute plethora of new mini-scenarios and maps that the new version doesn't have. Verdun, Cambrai, the Somme, East Africa, Gallipoli, it's something that was missing with the remaster that only had the grand campaign & two mini-scenarios. But yeah this is the best WW1 strategy game I've played yet, battles genuinely slog into trench warfare and stalemates, requiring you to use artillery or develop new tactics to achieve a breakthrough. There's more than a dozen scenarios depicting almost every major battle of WW1, and the UI/mechanics of the game is generally easier to get going with than other wargames (though reading the manual's still a good idea). It's still good fun even if this title is a bit older, Classic's graphics and gameplay still hold up but the remaster is good too if you only want the grand campaign and some QoL changes.
