📖 About This Game
Square Bashing 1914-1918 is a very different concept from most miniatures rules, which makes it almost a hybrid between miniatures and boardgames. The playing surface (usually 6'x4') is subdivided into 12" squares. Each square is designated as open (minimal movement impediment) or closed (serious impediment). Players build up their forces in a square and assault adjacent squares in an attempt to capture them
Because figures simply occupy a square, there is no need for strict basing sizes. In fact, unlike most miniatures games, there is no adverse effect for having a variety of basing sizes.
Note: modifications for Russian Civil War and East Africa battles are also included.
