About this game
This seems to be a WWI remake of the 1895 game Waterloo with a map of interlaced roads with black dots. Berlin and Vienna are at one end of the map, with Paris and Brussels on the other. Each city has a triangle of 3 grey spaces. The Rhine River wanders across the middle of the map, and two other cities are shown (Strassburg and Cologne) that have no impact on play. There are six fortresses, each containing a grey dot. Playing pieces are similar, with 8 infantry and 2 cavalry per side.
Mechanism
Move and capture
Rules
The winner is the first to occupy 2 adjacent grey dots on an enemy city. In turn, players roll 3 dice. Each die can be used to move one piece that many dots. Two or even all three can be used to move a single cavalry. Doubles allow 2 pieces to move in tandem, and another roll. A piece cannot move through any other piece, and captures an enemy by landing on it be exact count. Pieces in forts and pieces adjacent to another friendly unit cannot be captured.
