With limited time & resources, and tension rising, can you build the military needed to save your country's independence? War Footing is a turn-based strategy game that puts you at the highest level of military command to mobilize a nation for defense rather than lead troops on the field. 8 scenarios offer distinct starting conditions, resource constraints, and enemy configurations. THE NATION'S EXISTENCE IS UP TO YOU You are the Minister of Defense. You control the budget, the procurement contracts, the political relationships, and the force structure. Whether the army that meets the enemy is ready is entirely down to the decisions you make before the first shot is fired. Each turn represents a week. You'll spend them sourcing equipment from foreign suppliers or your own domestic industry, training and assigning units, and managing political stability to keep the budget flowing. When the invasion begins, the army you built is the army you fight with. FROM DOCTRINE TO EQUIPMENT TO DEPLOYMENT Raise and outfit units from company to brigade level. Over 130 equipment types — small arms, armor, artillery, aircraft, and air defense systems — each with distinct trade-offs in cost, capability, and availability.
