About the game

Mass attack resulted in mass destruction. During this war both sides were forced to rebuild their armies. Each new army with the air and naval forces are in this game. This game features many scenarios, and the ability to play with, or without the air and naval system. This game is one of 5 that will make up The Great War Series.
