About This Content
As the advancing central powers got bogged down across Europe and
the troops were digging in to their trenches, a stalemate formed and
the hopes of a quick victory were dashed on both sides. When all was
quiet on the western front however, both the Central Powers and the
Entente kept looking for opportunities gain the advantage elsewhere.
Seeking out new allies in the Balkan region, launching campaigns in the
Middle-East and aiming for breakthroughs on many different fronts. All
this was done with only one goal in mind: Breaking the Deadlock.
To End All Wars: Breaking the Deadlock is the first expansion to the
most detailed World War One wargame ever created. Adding 5 completely
new scenarios, this expansion aims to vastly increase the content
in-game, giving players the option to focus on specific campaigns in
Italy, the Balkans and even the Middle-East. In addition, the expansion
also allows for the grand campaign to be started in 1916, allowing him
to seek out his own opportunities to overcome the stalemate and win the
War to End all Wars.
Breaking the Deadlock comes with a Grand Campaign spanning 1916 to 1918 and four smaller scenarios:
SERBIA 1915- 12 turns
Following the British assaults on the Ottomans in 1915, the Central
Powers seek to secure a rail line into Ottoman territory, in order to be
able to assist them in sending aid to their struggling ally. As a
result, a new major offensive was launched against Serbia and this time
the small Serbian nation is also attacked from the Bulgarian front.
RUMANIA 1916- 30 turns
Witnessing several hardships of the Central Powers in 1916, the
Romanian government considered that now was the time to join the
Russians and seize Transylvania. The Romanian army was in high spirits
and would be able to quickly deal with the only Austrian army in the
area, but how long would it last until German reinforcements would join
the fight?
CAPORETTO 1917- 8 turns
This small actioned-packed scenario takes place in northern Italy,
where a combined Central force sought to deal a decisive blow to the
Italian army, forcing a breakthrough and taking them out of the war. The
Italian 2nd Army was ill-prepared to deal with the offensive, but
military help from their allies was underway.
PALESTINE 1917-1918- 24 turns
After the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915, veterans were dispatched to
the Middle-East on each side, forming the Egyptian Expeditionary Force
(EEF) for the British, and the Fourth Army in Palestine for the
Ottomans, to fight for the Sinai Peninsula. In 1917, the British had
moved into Ottoman territory, where they suffered two defeats at the
Battles of Gaza. The Brits were determined to push on however and a new
offensive was about to take place.
