Warfare 1917 Unblocked — Play Free Online

Warfare 1917 is a gritty side-scrolling tactical strategy game set in the trenches of the First World War. Rather than direct unit micro-management, the game tasks you with managing reinforcements, trench lines, and support barrages across muddy European battlefields. You deploy squads of infantry across No Man's Land, timing charges and defensive holdouts to push the front line forward or break the enemy's resolve.

While fast-paced destruction games on Whack Your Boss offer instant physical catharsis, Warfare 1917 delivers a deliberate, high-stakes tug of war. Success demands patience, fire superiority, and careful resource management as waves of soldiers clash under heavy machine gun fire and artillery strikes.

How to play

Warfare 1917 is played primarily with the mouse. Use the deployment bar along the bottom of the screen to queue unit squads as reinforcement points accumulate. Once deployed, infantry automatically advance to the nearest available trench and take cover to fire on advancing hostiles.

• Select squads: Click unit icons or use number keys to queue riflemen, machine gun teams, snipers, and specialized assault troops.
• Direct movements: Click on an occupied trench to select stationed squads, then click an adjacent trench forward or backward to order an advance or tactical retreat.
• Call in fire support: Click artillery or chemical strike icons at the top of the interface, then target an enemy position to disrupt entrenched defenders.

Tactics and unit management

Charging straight across open terrain without preparation is a quick route to defeat. To break entrenched enemy defenses and preserve your army's morale, keep several core principles in mind:

• Establish fire superiority: Station riflemen and machine gunners in forward trenches before ordering an advance. Suppressive fire pins down enemy troops and protects charging assault waves.
• Use snipers for high-value targets: Snipers have long range and high accuracy, making them ideal for eliminating enemy machine gun crews from safe distances.
• Time artillery with troop pushes: Calling in an artillery barrage just before your infantry reaches an enemy trench softens the defense and reduces casualties during the final assault.
• Watch morale meters: Battles can be won by capturing the enemy baseline or reducing enemy morale to zero. Heavy casualties damage morale, so avoid reckless wave attacks.

Upgrades and campaign progression

Between campaign missions, earned experience points can be invested in the tech tree. Upgrades allow you to reduce squad deployment times, boost soldier accuracy, strengthen unit armor, and unlock devastating heavy artillery barrages. Upgrading core infantry and support strikes early provides a steady foundation for tougher late-war scenarios.
