Clash of Empires: The Battle for France 1914
The opening days of World War I on the Western Front, using a point-to-point map and simple rules. One player commands French forces while another controls the Germans, with an optional role for British forces. Players maneuver armies, contest cities and supply centers, and pursue national victory conditions. Germany seeks to capture and isolate Paris, while France aims to take two German supply centers. The game ends when a side wins or, after twelve turns, a stalemate is declared and a marginal result is determined.
