Your over-confident generals believed they could win this war and have their troops home before winter... but no one could anticipate the horrors of trench warfare that would stretch out for years. Home Before Winter is a turn-based, strategy game with a shoot'em up mini game. Feel the cold power of your Gatling gun rip through your enemy, mobilize your troops and send them to conquer adjacent territories, but be sure to save enough men for when the enemy sends out a counter-offensive. Every turn gets you one season closer to harsh winter conditions. Complete objective cards to gain bonuses and help your men conquer the world!

Turns are broken down into three phases:

• Phase 1: Place units on your territories.

• Phase 2: Attack from your territories and conquer more land and regions that will give you bonuses.

• Phase 3: Move your units to strategic points on your land.

Once all players have taken their turn, a shoot'em up minigame starts. Depending on how well you perform, you will get bonuses that will aid you in conquering the world!
