About Classified: France '44
Classified: France ‘44 is a turn‑based strategy title set in the months before the June 1944 Allied invasion. Players lead a mixed squad of Allied commandos and French resistance fighters, recruiting operatives and planning sabotage against German forces. The game features a morale system where each shot influences combat flow, a Mission Creator for custom scenarios, and multiple endings that reflect strategic choices. Updates and community‑made content aim to keep the experience fresh.
01 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Combat
Combat is turn-based, with shooting, moving, and abilities unfolding across sequential turns. The unique morale mechanic ties every shot to morale shifts, allowing players to suppress enemies and open flanking opportunities. This system encourages careful planning over brute force. The game draws inspiration from historical WWII engagements, aiming to deliver authentic tactical encounters. Players must balance aggression with stealth, as excessive kills raise enemy suspicion and attract Gestapo attention.
- Observe how each shot impacts morale before committing to a full assault.
- Use suppression to create windows for flanking rather than relying on direct fire.

Resistance Management
Beyond battles, you manage a growing resistance network. Recruiting elite operatives expands your squad, each with personal stories and abilities. Time spent around the campfire raises team morale, deepening their effectiveness in the field. Strategic operations outside combat, such as sabotage missions, influence the broader campaign. Success builds the network, while drawing Gestapo focus can complicate future actions.
- Allocate campfire time to boost morale before major engagements.
- Balance recruitment with mission risk to avoid over‑exposing the network.

Mission Creator
The built‑in Mission Creator lets players design, share, and download custom scenarios. This tool extends replayability beyond the over 45 supplied missions, encouraging community‑driven content. Creators can build their own custom missions, allowing for diverse tactical challenges that reflect personal playstyles or historical what‑ifs.
- Experiment with varied objectives to test different squad compositions.
- Explore community‑made missions for fresh tactical puzzles.

Multiple Endings
Strategic decisions throughout the campaign influence which of several endings you reach. Choices about which missions to undertake, how aggressively to engage, and how to manage the resistance all feed into the final outcome. This branching narrative encourages replayability, as different playthroughs can produce distinct conclusions about the D‑Day scenario you help shape.
- Vary mission selection between playthroughs to experience alternative endings.
- Consider a more cautious approach in one run to see how outcomes differ.
