Death in the Trenches: The Great War 1914-1918 is a Strategic-level World War I Wargame covering the entire War, from the opening shots in Serbia and Belgium to the final defeat (or victory!) of Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1918. The Game includes a Map illustrated by Jonathan Carnehl, stretching from the Pyrenees to Moscow and from Norway to the Sudan, covering every square inch of Territory in Europe and the Near East which saw Combat from 1914 to 1918, in a manageable 34x22" Format. An additional Map shows the German Colonies.
The Game also features 520 beautifully-illustrated Counters depicting the National Armies that fought in the War, from the Germans, French, British and Russians all the way down to the Persians, Montenegrins, Armenians, South Africans and a Host of other Specialized Units (French Foreign Legion, Gurkhas, Italian Arditi, Cossacks, Tyrolean Kaiserjaeger, Zionists, Bavarians, Dunsterforce... even the Chinese may send a small Expeditionary Force).
Death in the Trenches: The Great War 1914-1918 includes a 28-page Rulebook (and an additional 20 pages of setups and random Events) detailing the Game's unique Combat System (no CRT!) which portrays the grinding nature of World War I combat in a realistic way that still gives Players plenty of options to pursue. Using Army-level Units (which contain numbers of Divisional Level Formations, represented off-map), Players use numerous Special Military Abilities to drive back the Enemy. Detailed random Events Rules give you more gory details about World War I than you've ever seen before in a Game, while helping keep play simple and straightforward. Lenin, the Senussi Revolt, intrigue in the Romanian Court, the Cruise of the Emden, the Armenian Massacre, the Sinai Pipeline, the Ukrainian Reactionary Hetmanate, Rasputin, Mata Hari, the Russian shell shortage, the murder of Edith Cavell, Wilhelm Wassmuss (the German Lawrence), Lawrence of Arabia, the Nestorian Resistance, Pancho Villa, the Grand Duke Nicholas, Thomas Masaryk, the Red Baron, Czech Legion, Irish Rising, Berber Revolt, Air Raids, Typhus, Influenza... they're all here.
