About the Game

In 1918, the Germans would have several offensives to end the war. Only Blucher, which aimed for Paris once again, was nearly a success. Once again Stormtroopers infiltrated the enemy lines with devastating effect, gas broke open the static lines and the limited use of tanks gave the offensive real impact and speed. All this created a huge bulge that the Germans had not expected nor prepared for and came within 35 miles of Paris! It seemed as if nothing had changed since the last time it happened in 1914. The British seemed to just melt away in this quiet sector and had it not been for American divisions, the outcome might had been different.

Game scale is 3 miles\hex with daily turns. Units are tank battalions, regiments and brigades. One 11x17" map and 280 counters plus "what if" scenarios had the Germans used more tanks in their possession.
