About Spirit of War
Spirit of War: The Great War is a turn-based strategy game set during World War I. Lead troups of the Triple Entente or Triple Alliance army and relive World War I greatest battles. Drawing inspiration from board games classics, Spirit of War: The Great War offers a unique arcade/strategy gameplay.
Fight on 48 historical maps tracing the events who took place between 1914 and 1918.
Spirit of War: The Great War invites you to take part in battles 2 months apart. Between each of these battles, a summary of the events written and documented by Julien Hervieux, an historian specialized in WWI, is available to the player.
In order to defeat the enemy troops, two possibilities: Capturing the Head Quarter or eliminating all the troops. Each of the player’s units can be moved, healed and swelled to be victorious.
Battles take place on fixed size maps built on hex cases. Each of these cases constitute a different kind of terrain that impacts the advance of the troops in different ways: roads, plains or forests all come with their own bonus or malus.
At the beginning of the game, only a few units are available. These units will grow bigger and bigger while new troops will appear at the same dates they appeared during the actual war.
Two captivating campaigns including 24 maps each are playable.

[h1] Strategy game for chumps. [/h1]3 found this helpful
Is this the most bugged game of all time? It could be so good, but the bugs make it almost unplayable - I can't believe it was ever tested thoroughly. Units that were in supply cars before saving a game disappear upon loading again, game becomes unresponsive - so you can't even save your position, sometimes you can't attack an enemy - this prevents you from completing the final mission, I could go on.....2 found this helpful
Good strategy war game with all the forces you need. You can generate forces in your bases if you generate enough cash as the game goes on, but if that gets too easy, you can play the game without generating forces, now you do have a battle on your hands. Recommend for all ages. I am 75 !!!!!2 found this helpful
It's a remake of histline 1914-18. There's games that are spiritual successors, and then there's games like this. It's straight up the same game with different maps. This version is obviously worse, but histline is always good, so I got it. The graphics do not do the game any favors, and that's the only thing the devs changed. AI is not that great either. I'd say play histline instead. There are no differences in gameplay. The thing that mildly annoyed me is that the devs seem to be implying that their game is entirely unique in the trailer by using "new" and "indie". Reskinning and re-releasing a game from 1992 does not make it "new" or "indie".1 found this helpful
As a History line/Battle isle copy it's well done, bug free and a neat little game. It's missing larger maps and map editing or maybe user scenario creation but all in all for the price it's a good game.
some tipps i need
