About this game

Forward Line is a turn based, medium weight, two player strategy board game with a World War II theme.

The object of the game is to capture the cities of the world with your military units. In some ways the game is like chess, in that it is a game of positioning and maneuver; there is no random chance involved in determining whether a unit defeats an enemy unit. There are 10 types of military unit that have unique roles that must be combined to deceive, outrun, outwit and overwhelm your opponent.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely a fun game, however I think some of the balancing is pretty odd, and also I think the base AI options could use some work (difficulty slider aside the city count.) I think some more content would be nice too, like adding buildings (bunkers, barbed wire, trenches maybe?) I do really like the mechanics of the game, and supply chaining is super fun. Would rate 4.5/5 if I could since my issues with the game aren't too crazy.

Amazing game. Simple, strategic, and easy to learn. My only issue is I wish I could switch on an option to where I can have a game last till I take all the enemies cities. I don't really enjoy it when I win, even though (to me) I didn't really win. Like with my first game I won when the enemy had two cities left, but the map still had a lot (and I mean a lot) of enemy units left. I just wish there was an option to what I just proposed that can be toggled when a game is being made.

I like this game, it's a lot like Axis&Allies but with a much slicker and simpler gameplay. Biggest ask I have is to have a matchmaking system or somewhere to look for other human players. The AI doesn't offer much in the way of challenging play, and I don't want to grind against more cities.
