Axis & Allies: WWI 1914

Players take command of one of the major World War I powers and conduct large-scale, attritional warfare across Europe and beyond. The game models trench lines, limited maneuver, and costly offensives; players recruit and allocate infantry, artillery, tanks, aircraft, and naval forces, manage production and logistics, and launch coordinated attacks to gain ground or hold defensive positions. Each nation has unique units and starting conditions, and play emphasizes careful resource allocation and incremental gains rather than sweeping blitzes. Scenario length and strategic depth reflect the slower, grinding nature of the 1914–18 conflict.
