About the game

Alsace 1944, the wargame contained in Vae Victis issue 59, simulates the 1st French Army offensive, whose aim was to flank the Vosges from the south and take control of the Haute-Alsace (Belfort and Mulhouse area). One player takes control of the German forces and the other command the French. The game uses the same system as "Ardennes 1944" published in Vae Victis issue 48. As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The magazine and rules are entirely in French. However the English translations of the Rules and Designer's notes are available from Grognard.com.
