Join Joe on Hexed And Countered for a first look and gameplay walkthrough of War Footing: Strategic Defense Management, developed by Strategist Den Games and available on Steam. In this strategic defense simulator, you're put in charge of a nation facing an imminent invasion. With limited time, a strict defense budget, and complex diplomacy across Western, Eastern, and neutral power blocs, you must manage domestic production, foreign arms deals, military licensing, and unit training across multiple fronts before the war begins. In this playthrough, Joe dives into the "Industrial Giant" scenario to test out unit mobilization, defense spending sliders, arms procurement, and doctrine choices.
