You are in command of the German armed forces—generals, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and the first tank units—and the object of the game is to conquer the strategic parts of France as quickly as possible. If you are not quick enough, tank units and Americans enter the war.
This is a large-scale game with railway network building and economic decisions, and if you haven't played games from this series, you may want to start with a simpler scenario like Operation Barbarossa or D-Day before taking on the Great War of 1914–1918.
"The war was decided in the first 20 days of fighting. All that happened afterwards consisted in battles which, however formidable and devastating, were but desperate and vain appeals against the decision of Fate."
– Winston Churchill
Highlights:
+ Tactical Areas/Move Points: Some hexagons are connected together forming slowly evolving Tactical Areas, and you can move between such hexagons using Tactical MPs instead of regular MPs. This opens up a completely new tactical dimension.
+ Economy & Production: You decide how to use the industrial resources that you capture: Build railway networks, produce Rail MPs, manufacture minefields, etc.
+ Railway Network: To navigate the huge game area efficiently you need to plan where to build railway network.
+ Mud: Areas which see lot of troop movement and battles will turn into mud, which might consume extra move points, so you cannot get bogged down on the war of attrition if you want to keep the front lines advancing.
+ Generals: Generals support the closest units in battle at the cost of 1 MP, while the front line units located too far away from Generals might lose 1 MP.
FEATURES:
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, extra move points, damage resistance, ability to cross rivers without losing move points, etc.
+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.

"The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
- Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary, on the eve of the war in 1914. This quote is often seen as a reflection of the sense of impending doom at the outbreak of the war.
