Strategic Command: World War I - Battles for Ypres
Manufacturer: Matrix Games
The Battles for Ypres DLC for Strategic Command: World War I delivers six high-intensity, quick-to-play campaigns set across one of the most iconic and strategically vital fronts of the Great War. Covering the major clashes fought in and around the Ypres Salient from 1914 to 1918, each scenario captures a different phase in the evolution of modern warfare.
From the desperate defense of the First Battle of Ypres to the gas-stricken chaos of the Second, the precision assault at Messines Ridge, the muddy nightmare of Passchendaele, the shock of the German Spring Offensive and the final Allied advance in 1918. Every campaign offers distinct challenges, pacing and strategic dilemmas.
Fight across a shared battlefield that evolves over time, with changing terrain, shifting frontlines and increasingly advanced military technologies. Experience the transition from early-war maneuver and rifle fire to trench warfare, creeping barrages, tanks, aircraft, and chemical weapons. Each reshaping how battles are fought.
Designed for both accessibility and depth, these divisional-level scenarios emphasize meaningful decision-making, risk management and replayability. Commit reserves at the right moment, exploit breakthroughs, or hold the line against overwhelming odds, every choice can determine victory or defeat.
