Flash games were like the wild west. During the time they were around, modern game design in and of itself wasn't fully fleshed out. Sure, there were a couple of soft rules, but experimentation was everywhere.  Flash games were and are the most experimental games you can play around as they don't really care what's "right" and what's "wrong". Sometimes, they create their own subgenre of strategy games that don't really show up anywhere else. Warfare 1917 is one of them.

To install Warfare 1917, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

You can play a full campaign as either the British or the Germans. You can win each battle by either reaching the opposite side fo the battlefield with your troops or have such an efficient kill to death ratio that your enemy's morale falls to zero.

This game has trenches as strategic choke points. Any unit outside of these trenches will be incredibly vulnerable and it's up to you to strategically control the battlefield so you minimize your losses. Each of your units will be good against a certain type of enemy unit, meaning you have to pay close attention to your enemy's composition and counter it.

All in all, Warfare 1917 is a dumbed down RTS, but the formula proved engaging enough that there is a whole genre about it.
