War Footing: Strategic Defense Management, from Strategist Den Games on Steam, puts you in charge of a nation staring down an imminent invasion. It’s less about pushing units and more about the decisions behind the front line, and I give it a first look with some gameplay.
The war behind the war
Limited time, a strict defense budget, and knotty diplomacy — that’s the squeeze the game puts you in, and it’s a genuinely different flavor from most wargames. The interesting tension is triage: you can’t fortify everything, fund everything, or befriend everyone, so every turn is a prioritization problem. That’s catnip for anyone who likes the logistical and political side of conflict as much as the shooting. First look and early play here.
