Dig In

Dig In is THE WW1 Trench Warfare Colony Sim
Dig trenches. Command your men. Hold the line.

The year is 1914. Take up the spade for Germany, Great Britain, the Republic of France, Austria-Hungary, or Imperial Russia, with historically accurate uniforms and upgrades that reflect the war’s evolution. Additional nations and uniforms will expand throughout Early Access.

Key Features

Methodical – Dig Trenches, Build Infrastructure, Manage Supplies

• Shape the battlefield by building an evolving trench network, directing the flow of troops and resources.

• Create defensive, offensive, and logistical infrastructure to withstand assaults and maintain operations.

• Your men need sleep, food, and warmth to sustain morale, endure the brutal conditions, and find the strength to go over the top.

• Hold and claim battlefield quadrants to earn favour from high command. Plan and assess the situation with the historically inspired Map Overview.

Brutal – Guard the Line, Command Artillery, Go over the Top

• Eliminate waves of enemy attackers while preparing for offensives from your sector.

• Time artillery strikes to devastating effect, but beware – shells don’t discriminate.

• Send your men over the top to try and claw ground from enemy hands. How many men are you willing to lose to expand?

Human-Centric – Manage Troops, Dispatch Runners, Tend to Needs

• Every soldier under your command has a name, a life before the war, and unique traits. Keep morale high, tend to their needs, and weigh the human costs of every decision.

• Officers bring unique strengths and flaws based on their backgrounds – from aristocrats raised in privilege to battle-hardened survivors from the ranks.

• Runners are the lifeline of your command. Every order takes time to deliver, and miscommunication can spell disaster. Need to cancel that attack? Hope the runner makes it in time.

The Trenches are Alive

• Dynamic Timing: Time is a weapon. Orders take time to arrive, and changing plans requires swift runners and careful planning.

• Sweat Saves Blood: Expand your trench network, set routes for your men to move where they are least exposed to enemy fire, and shore up your defenses before the enemy flanks you.

• Poor Bloody Infantry: Balance the need for butter and bullets. Keep your men fed, rested and armed – or watch the fighting spirit of your platoon collapse.
