Box Description
They called it the Great War. In over four years of titanic struggle the ancient Europe of Kings and Emperors tore itself to pieces, giving birth to our own violent modern age. The bloody battles fought in the trenches to the Western Front, the icy plains of Poland, the mountains of the Balkans, and the deserts of Arabia, shaped the world we know today.
Paths of Glory allows players to step into the shoes of the monarchs and marshals who triumphed and blundered from 1914 to 1918. Both players will find their generalship and strategic abilities put to the test as Paths of Glory's innovative game systems let you recreate all the dramatic events of World War I.
At the heart of the design are the 110 Strategy Cards. Each player has his own deck of 55 Mobilization, Limited War, and Total War Cards. Each card can be used to perform movement and combat operations, Strategically Redeploy units, accumulate Replacements to rebuild battered Armies and Corps, or introduce dozens of historic events. Strategy cards cover:
- Guns of August
- Chlorine Gas
- Mata Hari
- Flamethrowers
- Cloak and Dagger
- Landships (tanks)
- Zeppelin Raids
- Tsar Takes Command
- Salonika
- Grand Fleet (and the High Seas Fleet!)
- War in Africa
- Reichstag Truce
and much more....
