What is Narrow Front?
Narrow Front is a real-time WWII strategy game for phones, played in portrait, from Matterward Labs. You deploy infantry squads, tanks and support tactics as cards, capture farmhouses and push the front line toward the enemy headquarters. The game has 10 campaign missions (Colleville, 7 June 1944 to Remagen, 7 March 1945), 11 skirmish maps and 45 units and tactics, including 8 infantry squads, 24 tanks and 4 aircraft. Every battle runs offline against the computer. It is free on Google Play for Android 8.0 and later; the iPhone version is coming soon to the App Store.
