Each class has a different role within a squad, and each squad has in turn their own specific tactic. Players in a squad can then choose one of the available classes that is determined by the type of squad he joined. Each squad has a set of abilities and perks based on its type (Line Infantry, Light Infantry or Assault Infantry). There are up to 12 squad types that the players can choose from, all based on historically accurate units such as the German Stosstruppen, the British Tommies or the French Poilus. In such a battle each player, from either the Central Powers or Entente side, is part of a 4-man squad. The battles fought over these sectors are fought in a FPS battle. The goal is to capture the enemy‘s HQ sector in order to win the game.

Staying true to the typical attrition warfare of that time, both sides attack and counter-attack each other in turn, so you will be forced to defend each captured sector of trenches. Each side fights over a turn-based frontline map that consists of multiple sectors that can be captured by either side. In the Frontlines game mode, players can choose to join one of the 2 historic sides of the First World War, the Central Powers and the Entente. There are 4 game modes in Verdun, the Frontlines, Attrition Warfare, Squad Defense and the Rifle Deathmatch game modes.
