📖 About This Game

This is a WWII historical simulation, where you take the role of either the Germans or the Allies on the western front, designed by a veteran designer and historian. The novel 'initiative' system means that you never know who is going to move a piece next. With both historical, and free set ups the German and Allied players can either follow in Eisenhower and/or Hitler’s footsteps, or fight the battles using their own plans.
