Issue 319 Game - Strategy & Tactics

Schlieffen's War is a two-player wargame of low-intermediate complexity, offering a strategic perspective on the first six weeks of World War I's western front in 1914. The game's systems provide a supreme-commander's view, with only subtle operational elements. Each hex on the map represents 16 miles, and each turn equals four days of real time. Players command opposing forces: one leads the Germans, the other the allied Entente (Belgian, British, and French). Corps with army HQ and static fortresses are key units.
