Supreme Ruler: The Great War Epic Belgian Defense

BattleGoat Studios masterful Supreme Ruler series goes to World War I in The Great War, now available as a standalone game or as a free DLC to Supreme Ruler Ultimate. In this run, we take on the role of Belgium, which heroically held out against Germany’s ten times larger army for a month, and arguably saved Paris from a quick capture.

Here, we see if we can do any better, with a skillful combination of diplomacy, military technology research, entrenched troops and expeditionary forces that Germany did not expect! So how did we do? Come and see if our September surprise paid off.

And check out our full review of the game!

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.

Thanks to GiN for playing our game!

Please note: There is an error in the details, the DLC is not free. If you purchase SRGW, you get the DLC version for free and vice versa, but SRU and SRGW are purchased separately. SRGW is the same price in both formats.
