In 'War,the Game' players take the role of a supreme commander directing armies across the globe. Straightforward game rules, limited number of unit types (7) and intuitive controls make this game very accessible. Some of the features: - In 'War,the Game' earth is a sphere, not flat. - 'War,the Game' is easy to learn yet difficult to master. - Playable with mouse or 360-controller. - Super duper ai. 'War,the Game' takes inspiration from boardgames such as Diplomacy, Risk and Axis & Allies, picks only the best elements from traditional RTSes and simplifies, simplifies, simplifies.
'War,the Game' is the first indie title by industry veteran Obbe Vermeij / GabberGames.com.

Nevermind, figured that level out (by ignoring the instructions actually in the game. Thanks for that.) Still think the name makes it hard to Google though.
Two thoughts. First, the name is terrible, it makes it extremely hard to Google or find any information on the game with such a generic title.
Secondly, how on earth do you beat the War on Terror level?

8/10 - Softpedia - One of the most interesting titles I have played this year.
I watched a YouTuber play this during alpha and really liked the World War operation. I vote you have that operation unlocked from the begining to make it more fun for starting players. Also, I don't think that the Distant War operation is beatable.
Hey TheRGB,
I'll consider unlocking World War after the 3 tutorials. Others have mentioned this.
Distant War is totally possible:
Transport the infantry army in Gibraltar just across the water to Morocco. Send it (on foot) to Johannesburg.
In the mean time the transport fleet ships 2 units from Britain to Morocco. These units also go on foot to Johannesburg.
For extra points you can ship the 4th infantry unit to Johannesburg (by boat). All 4 units should be there in time to partake in the attack. This gives you the special.
Tadaaa.

Congratulations!
This game looks fantastic! Definitely hoping to buy it eventually (funds are pretty tight though)
Really cool game. If you'd like to try a real-time version of Risk or Axis & Allies, try it out! Still has some minor quirks like pretty passive AI in some scenarios (whereas in others it's extremely aggressive), but the developer is steadily releasing new versions here.
Really love this game and I hope this video helps shed some light on the game play for those on the fence:
