All Arms Forward – WWII Squad Tactics Game

This early, single-player World War II tactics prototype is built around custom infantry battles. Spend requisition on assault infantry, machine-gun teams, reconnaissance patrols, snipers and on-map mortars. Field American, British, Canadian or French/Resistance troops against Germany, then command squads directly or assign tasks through role-based autonomy.

The tactical puzzle is as much about information as firepower. Reconnaissance, line of sight and fog of war shape what you can see. Directional cover matters: a hedgerow can help from the front while leaving a flank open. Ammunition is finite, soldiers tire under movement, and you can inspect weapons, ammo, wounds, morale and fatigue. After a battle, squad performance and the casualty ledger help you review losses.

Procedurally generated battlefields combine villages, waterways, bridges, fields and hedgerows. Craters, ruins and wrecks affect movement, cover and visibility. Control-point progress moves deliberately, leaving time to manoeuvre and contest the ground.

During the fight, press Space whenever you need to inspect the field and plan. Select a squad, open its orders wheel from the map, choose a covered advance, crawl, suppression or withdrawal, then set the destination. Reconnaissance, line of sight and fog of war shape what you know; a hedgerow may protect against fire from the front while leaving a flank exposed. Check ammunition and squad condition before committing to a long move, and watch for fatigue as soldiers move.
