The Great War 1914-1918
A strategic area-movement game covering the major European and West Asian countries during the First World War. Players maneuver armies, corps, and naval squadrons while managing mobilization, combat, diplomacy, national resources, and limited manpower. Seven historical scenarios and one hypothetical scenario are included, along with a campaign linking them into a 72-turn game, with each turn representing one month. Players must balance financial resources and fixed mobilization pools, as exhausting either can prevent further recruitment or lead to elimination.
