Theme: WWI Western Front

About this game

Subtitled "Can the Allies be Defeated?", this is a simpler WWI game from the designer of the pre-war War Tactics, or Can Great Britain be Invaded?" The board is a plain brown on white with a 16 x 13 grid that covers the Western Front from Paris to Berlin and from Holland in the north to the edge of Switzerland. Playing pieces are thick cardboard disks.

Mechanism

Move and capture

Rules

Players use ground and air units, including the "engine of destruction, the airship", with different movement and capture powers. In attacking, players must steer around both Holland and Luxembourg, which remained neutral. As in its predecessor game, the winner is the first to occupy all four squares of the opponent's capital.
