Strategic Command: WWI - Battles for Ypres | DLC Announcement + Beta

Post by NotTooBad »

We’re thrilled to announce a new DLC for Strategic Command WWI titled Battles for Ypres.

Take command in one of the Great War’s most fiercely contested regions, fighting for control of the Ypres Salient.

Experience six fast-paced, divisional-level campaigns spanning 1914 to 1918, from the desperate defense of First Ypres to the final Allied advance in Flanders. Face the introduction of new warfare elements, including gas attacks, creeping barrages, tanks and aircraft. You will need to adapt your strategy in each scenario, balancing risk, timing, and resources to secure victory in intense battles.

We’re looking for your feedback. Join the beta and share your thoughts, your insights are invaluable to shape and balance the DLC.

Not in this DLC. But those are favorites and we may have time in the future for them.

Ypres should be a good one. Looking forward to it.
It is nice you are adding more to this nice game.

I also yearn greatly for a Gallipoli DLC. Imagine a zoomed in version of that battle like you did with Okinawa in the Strategic Command Pacific War - a sheer delight for fans of Gallipoli. I love that battle.

If you include the naval aspect in the Dardanelles - a genius plan by Churchill ruined by mines - it could be enhanced by allowing a naval battle with the Turkish navy upon making it through the Dardanelles to meet the powerful German cruisers given to Turkey named Yavuz Sultan Selim and Midilli (I had to look those up). That would be a fun naval battle to give the crews some normal action after the arduous struggle through the Dardanelles.
