La Guerre à Outrance: Grand-Tactical Franco-Prussian Warfare in Miniature társasjáték

Angol leírás

La Guerre à Outrance is a traditional miniatures game for recreating the larger actions of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Players maneuver brigades -- whole armies can be fielded to re-play entire battles over the course of a normal gaming session. It is designed to be a fast-play alternative to other grand-tactical systems, and uses a common basing system for figures. Time, figure, and ground scales are higher, making for shorter, more decisive actions.

The emphasis is on army and corps-level command: the functions of lower-level generals and officers are handled by the system. This speeds play, and lets players focus on commanding armies instead of regiments or brigades. The game does not use dice, and allows one or more players to use a device to moderate play. The interface is simple and easy to use.

The system is built on a large body of research into the weapons, formations, and doctrine of the period, hiding this complexity to let players experience a more detailed level of simulation in a fast-play format. So go ahead and discover what it is like to fight war to the uttermost, in the most decisive European conflict of the later 19th century!
