Guns of August
Replay the first three months of WWI on the Western Front, as mobility reigns and the fate of France hangs in the balance. Maneuver corps and divisions across nine-mile hexes in three-day turns. Chit-pull activation, limited movement, and combat based on artillery and rifle strength create an interactive campaign, while optional variable setup and fog-of-war counters add uncertainty and replayability.
