About the game
As day breaks, the men are already lined up in the trench. Some have shaky hands, but all grip their rifles tightly. On the other side of the parapet, the no man's land is deathly quiet. As the sun's rays reflect off the bayonets, the officers look nervously at their watches. But everyone is confident, because the pigeons that arrived the day before have brought good news: the nation, the generals and the headquarters are doing their best to support this new offensive! Go over the top and renew your games with the Great War Commander Strategy Cards Expansion. Benefit from the efficiency of nine new Strategy Cards for each Nation (France, Germany, United States, United Kingdom and Commonwealth, Russia, Austria-Hungary) and dedicated rules that allow you to easily integrate them into your Great War Commander games. —description from the publisher
