World War Armies Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Become a Legendary Battlefield General

THE BASICS OF WORLD WAR ARMIES

War to end all wars they said! It could never happen again they said! What a laugh.

As an RTS, commanding your troops is the whole meat and potatoes of World War Armies. If you’ve played Company of Heroes or Dawn of War, this game will look quite familiar to you, though shrunken to a scale that won’t utterly ruin your fingers via excessive high-speed micromanagement.

That being said, being on a tablet means you’ll have to adjust to the controls if you’re used to mouse and keyboard sorts of RTS games. Your objectives are twofold: Either capture the Strategic Points around the map and drain the enemy’s Strategic Points to zilch, or blow up the enemy HQ via direct use of firepower.

Unit Command

Good thing we have radios, ja?

Commanding units is simple: Tap a unit’s name, card, or 3D model, then tap twice on the ground or once on a target. Or set singlet tap movement to ON in the Options menu so you don’t have to tap twice to move. If you have single tap movement OFF, you can tap 3 times to get them to force-move, ignoring any enemies in the way, and if you have single tap movement ON, just tap twice for forced movement. 

You can select multiple units by dragging a square with two fingers across the screen, but depending on your screen and how buttery your fingers are it can be incredibly unreliable. The Select All button is your best friend here: Tapping it once selects everyone on the screen, and tapping it twice selects all your units across the map.

The battle maps can be fairly small, and armies max out at 15 units of Troop Limit, which means 15 Infantry maximum and it only gets smaller once you deploy vehicles, so single selection and the Select All button is good enough for most tasks and is fast enough that it will pretty much override the potential precision of a Drag Select.

After all, fumbling for 5 seconds with your fingers is enough time to get hit by an off-map bombardment which you could have avoided with 2 half-second taps on the screen.

Control Points and Strategic Points: Winning By Conquest

Command, we’ve taken the radio tower. Send the bombers in.

A central mechanic of the game is the capture of Control Points and Strategic Points across the map. Control Points provide Supply, which you use to call in new units back in your HQ. Control Points look like big white circles on the screen surrounding a pile of supplies, and walking any unit marked as a Capture Unit (unit cards marked with a flag symbol, of which most are infantry or extremely light T1 vehicles) will change its color until it turns into the color of that unit’s team.

A Control Point can be protected by building a Listening Post on top of it, which needs to be destroyed before it can be captured by the enemy while also improving a Point’s supply production. Strategic Points act similarly in that they give Supply and allow the construction of Pillboxes around it.

Unlike Control Points though, they also chip away at the enemy’s Victory Meter (If theirs hits 0, you win!), cannot have Listening Posts built on top of them, and are typically where most of both sides’ soldiers end up six-feet-under midway into a game.

Controlling the Strategic Points is vital to victory, but controlling at least your side of the map’s Control Points is vital to getting an army big enough to hold those Strategic Points in the first place.

The Enemy HQ: Winning With A Decisive Blow

The Americans are fleeing, mein herr! We would give chase, but the Panther’s out of petrol…

Another way to win is to blow up the enemy HQ with your army. This happens fairly rarely, and is usually a tactic done as an opportunistic strike: If you notice their army is attacking elsewhere and you’ve got at least a 600 Supply tank (T2 or T3 is fine) backed up with a sizeable force, you can send them forward for a faster Strategic rather than waiting to cap the enemy’s own Strategic Point.

It can also be pulled off as an act of desperation: Perhaps you’ve just gotten your army’s heroic second wind after beating back a particularly harsh attack, but the Strategic Points counter is very much against you and it might take too long to cap the points: You might as well attack the enemy HQ, perhaps leaving behind one infantry unit to cap one Strategic Point to slow the counter down.

Supply, The Troop Limit, and Unit Creation

The supplies aren’t just the fuel and ammo for the tank, but also the food for the crew.

Supply and the Troop Limit determine how big your army can be. You requisition new units with Supplies, and each unit takes up space in your Troop Limit. The more supply a unit eats up, the stronger it tends to be, but that doesn’t mean more expensive equals better: That hyper-costly 900 Supply heavy tank doesn’t matter if it never comes out because you need reinforcements right now!

As for the Troop Limit, it exists so you can’t throw 15 tanks at the enemy come to the end of a match: Weaker units like infantry take up less supply than stronger units like tanks, and it’s often a balance between getting many Infantry units to capture points faster vs bringing more tanks for firepower and bulk to hold down what you have already taken. Which brings us to…

Tier Escalation

As you can see from these examples, the higher the tier of a unit, the bigger it tends to be.

There are 3 tiers of units, TI, TII, and TIII. Unlocking a new Tier is a supply-heavy affair but necessary to Strategic: Going up a Tier during battle increases your supply cap and lets you deploy stronger units to the frontline.

But even lower-tier units are vital: Most Capture units are TI, and you often win with TII units even if you have escalated to TIII since TII has access to certain meat-and-potato units such as medium tanks and artillery. That being said if you DO get the opportunity to finally deploy that Pershing or Tiger, call it in!

Supply Drops

Are these crates German, Russian, or American? Doesn’t matter, the chow’s edible as long as you cook it.

Supply Drops pop out throughout a match, and can be captured the same way you take a Control Point: Sit some infantry on top of it and wait until they finish unpacking the box. They are marked by a yellow parachute icon on the map. These things can really win a match for you: As the game progresses, these drops give more and more supply, usually in batches big enough to immediately call in a tank you would otherwise wait ages for, especially if you’ve been plonking Pillboxes down all day.

Penetration Vs Armor: Big Guns For Big Targets

A sufficiently big target needs a sufficiently big gun to kill.

When you look at a unit’s stats, a big ol’ Damage and Health number assaults your eyes and it’s pretty easy to ignore everything else. There’s another pair of fairly important stats that determine a unit’s deadliness and toughness, located at the bottom of the Card Details screen: Armor and Penetration.

The shortest explanation: Armor reduces damage taken, Penetration increases damage given, and if a unit’s Armor stat is 100 units stronger than the attacker’s Penetration stat, then the unit getting shot takes no damage at all. This is why you don’t send Riflemen after tanks and Hanomags since piddly little bullets don’t do so well against 45 tons of rolled homogenous steel plating.

That being said, the armor rating displayed is always the front armor rating. This lets basic rifle infantry deal small amounts of damage to things like Hanomags from the rear, but this is still generally ill-advised: Bring Jaegers, Tank Hunters, or avoid and stall them by focusing on control points they’re not on, since now they’re down 2 infantry squads. Now if you’ve got a tank to take advantage of the enemy’s weaker rear armor, that’s more like it.

Support Powers

Hold still.

Each commander comes with Support Powers. Support Powers come in many forms: It can be anything from pulling a Machinegun Team and a Panzerjager tank destroyer out of thin air, army buffs, all the way to sudden nasty off-map bombardments. Each commander has 3 of them, and while the cheaper ones tend to be less powerful, they might be more useful simply because you can throw them at the enemy more often. Note that you cannot use Support Powers within a certain range of the enemy HQ. That way no side can just accumulate weapon barrages and win that way.

OUT-OF-COMBAT TIPS

When do we get our orders?

Unlike a lot of gacha mobile games, there isn’t a lot to do outside of combat in World War Armies beyond making a deck and leveling your units. That being said, here are some tips to make it easier to think up a good army to aim for once you start rolling in the Reinforcements Gacha.

Make A Strong T1-T2 Deck

That’s a lot of infantry there.

The quickness of games and the expense of upgrading all the way to TIII necessitates a deck heavy with TI and TII units. TIII units are usually there if you want to seal the deal, and in the case of the super-expensive TIII heavy tanks, can turn a really bad fight around when paired with Engineers.

On the other hand, if your TI and TII game is weak, you’re not likely to last long enough to make it to TIII in the first place! This is why USA tends to be the toughest faction for new players to use, since their only TI halftrack-killer is the 57mm AT Gun, a Legendary (and therefore extremely rare) unit.

Some examples of particularly dangerous TI and TII units are German SdKfz 251 Hanomags and American M3A2 Halftracks (With more than 100 armor, you need hard-to-find TI anti-armor units to kill them or wait for TII),  Jaegers, and Tank Hunters since they can deal with said Halftracks, Shermans since they’re a TII Medium able to fight even TIII units when there’s more than one of them, and Flame and Mortar Teams of any kind. Things only get wilder as you unlock new units such as the paradrop-deployed Fallschirmjagers, the 57mm AT gun, etc.

You Get The Cheapest Guy On Your Deck For Free Once

No reservists here, just us.

If you notice the start of every match with a normal deck, you’ll have a Rifleman team, a Volksgrenadier team, or a Red Army team depending on what faction you pick. But what if you get rid of your basic infantry from your deck? Turns out, whatever is cheapest takes its place at the start of a match. This has its upsides and downsides: Starting off with a free Machinegunner team is always very funny, and gives you a large advantage in the initial cap-off as this is a good use of Troop Limit.

The bad part is that you suddenly don’t have access to cheaper units the whole match, because they’re not in your deck! It can still be a good idea if you last long enough to get through the initial supply drought since you can pay for your more expensive army if you cannily and diligently go after Supply Drops and remember to put Listening Posts on your Control Points. Especially since TII vehicles don’t need replacement as often as Infantry units do, and you wind up accumulating Supply thanks to that.

Vehicle-Heavy Deck? Bring Engineers!

“We counted 497 shell holes, a missing engine block, and the insides are all burnt out. Nothing some duct tape can’t fix!”

Even things like big heavy tanks can get chipped badly throughout a fight. Unlike retreating infantry and light vehicles, the fatter armored vehicles are precisely that: Fat! They take a while to turn around and run and are often not smart enough to drive in reverse to keep their front armor pointed at the enemy, so if they’re caught with low HP they are often unable to escape to HQ for repairs.

That’s where units like Engineers come in: Having Engineers on call to fix vehicles near the front allows those vehicles to hold points for much longer and eventually raise their Veterancy throughout a battle.

They can also repair vehicles much faster than HQ repairs, though you have to actively order them to repair vehicles, unlike the HQ and units with the MEDIC tag which can heal infantry just by standing close to them. An exception is the Opel Blitz truck, which trades away guns for the ability to both repair vehicles and heal infantry in a radius.

Make A Deck According To Your Plan

Who to send, who to send?

Once you get enough cards, set up a deck, preferably a fairly balanced one that lets you cover many options, biased toward an overall battle plan. Are you gunning to defend control points to the end? Get some tankier units in your deck and anything with the Medic or Engineer tab to keep them topped up without needing to retreat constantly.

Is your policy “They can’t kill me if they’re dead!”? Then get some big-gun tank destroyers and artillery so they can’t even come close. Want to annoy the enemy away from control points early in the game? Get some TI light vehicles and some Mortar teams (Or a big ol’ half-track if you also want to hold a point hard early) to scare enemies away from early capping.

Do Your Quests and Events

Can’t get paid if you don’t fight.

Most of your profits to get new unit cards come from Events and Battlepass quests. This means building your army over the long term requires you to do the various tasks the game asks. Usually, this means learning the ins and outs of all 3 factions, the USA, the Germans, and the USSR, as these quests often have you trying to pull things off with units of each faction.

Reinforcements Gacha? Lend Lease Contracts? Or Events?

“I asked for bazookas, this crate is full of machine guns!” “Hey, I ain’t complaining.”

The way you unlock units is usually via the Reinforcements gacha. Every day, certain unit types become available, usually limited to several lists: In a day, maybe only German Infantry, T2 units from any nation, USA Vehicles, and USSR Vehicles may be available.

Think of them as very odd, very wide banner gachas. It’s usually a good idea to save your Tokens for an event that lets you take advantage of the Reinforcements Gacha, or by spending them on Lend Lease contracts instead: Reinforcement Gacha drops tend to be heavy with Common units, which is fine since they work well enough, but some niches are only filled by higher rarity units. The USA suffers from this very badly, since the only TI vehicle buster they can unlock in the Gacha is the 57mm AT Gun, a Legendary.

Army Building

Again, you can’t make it to TIII if you’re dead by TII or TI.

In the Troops Screen, you can build an army for each faction. You do this by taking the cards you have and picking which ones go into your 8-slot deck. One rule is to always make sure you have at least one TI Capture Unit on your deck, usually, whichever is the cheap basic infantry of whatever faction you’re making a deck for, with 2 or 3 different infantry units being a good number just so you can immediately call in 3-4 squads to capture 3 points early into a fight, unless you want an early Halftrack/Hanomag opening instead. This is because calling in new units usually leaves a card on cooldown even if you can afford more of the same unit.

Unit Leveling

Drill sergeants need paychecks too.

Leveling units, not to be confused with Veterancy which is an upgrade that only lasts for the duration of a match, is a way to permanently upgrade a unit. Leveling a unit is simple: First, you pay Coins to fill a Level bar which gives small incremental stat boosts, then once the bar is full, you use duplicate unit cards to get a bigger stat boost, leveling up that unit.

The basic Health and Damage stats are upgraded this way, but not the stats at the bottom of the screen such as Armor, Fire Rate, and Penetration lest you suddenly have infantry that can shrug off tank shells due to armor penetration mathematical nonsense. Penetration, Armor, and the other bottom-of-the-screen stats can be upgraded with Mastery Points, available in the Shop, but you can only really upgrade each of those stats once.

BATTLE CONTROL

Hold the Allies off! We cannot afford to lose this position!

Now you can plan and over-plan and plan under and above the battlefield, but as General Helmuth von Moltke the Elder once said, paraphrased as this by most people; “No plan survives first contact with the enemy”. Here are some tips to keep in mind once your men get in the soup.

No Higher Tier Units? Tier Up Anyway!

Now you’re just messing around.

Sometimes, if a fight goes well enough, you might not even pull out a TIII unit the whole match, especially if you have powerful TII units such as the M4 Sherman tank. That’s no reason not to go all the way to TIII anyway: Escalating tiers doesn’t just allow you to deploy higher tier units, it also increases your Troop Limit by 5 per tier, or 4 in Co-Op 2v2 matches. Since bigger vehicles such as medium tanks often take up 3 units of Troop Limit, you’ll need TIII even if all you’re deploying are TII tanks. Not a lot will stand up to two Shermans at once alone!

Use Support Powers Liberally

Charge!

Most rookie players forget that Support Powers exist, and meeting your first opponent who remembers them can be a very rude awakening. Don’t just constantly try to hoard for the highest tier Support Power, instead make judicious and opportunistic use of all of them! Some players might think themselves clever by deploying a Kubelwagen or Hanomag to scare off your infantry early in the game, only to weep when an off-map rocket blows out a chunk of its HP.

Or worse, a Panzerjager appears even before you unlock TII thanks to the second German support power. Even later into the game low-level support powers can be very helpful; forcing vehicles into retreat, killing infantry swarms that forget not to bunch up, or summoning an extra tank destroyer when badly needed.

Hit Vehicles From Behind

Most vehicles are made with a frontal assault in mind. This means they put less armor in the rear.

All vehicles take extra damage when shot from the rear since their armor is weaker there. Whenever you have the chance, especially if you’re using smaller anti-tank units like Tank Hunters or Jaegers, try and get behind a vehicle to kill it.

On the flip side, do your best to make sure your own vehicles face the enemy head-on lest they take a shell where it hurts. Both aren’t always convenient though, once again do it when the opportunity arises as opposed to mindlessly gunning for rear attacks even when the enemy’s back is covered with Pillboxes or hostiles in support.

Retreat The Injured

The writer is quite sure sticking a machine gun on anything bearing the Red Cross insignia is a war crime.

Make sure you retreat your damaged units, whether to any MEDIC and ENGINEER units such as M3 Scouts, Opel Blitz trucks, or Engineer squads or by tapping the Retreat button on the right side of the screen to immediately order them to run all the way back to HQ, which heals and repairs units nearby.

Especially anything expensive. Units can gain Veterancy as they kill enemies and the battle progresses, improving their stats for the duration of a match or until they get killed. This means a unit that’s retreated several times and lasted long enough to gain Veterancy is generally more effective than the same unit type replacing them after they get killed.

This goes double for more expensive units like vehicles and the more powerful infantry units, as you don’t want that Supply going to waste. One way to retreat units even with medical support units nearby is to tap the retreat button to get them to run ASAP, then order them to the medical unit before they reach HQ so they’re closer to the front while still running fast enough to escape the enemy.
