BARRAGE is a rules set designed to re-fight battles during the period of 1904 - 1935.

Typical unit sizes are infantry companies, cavalry squadrons, machine gun platoons, and artillery batteries. A player would generally command either a regiment or a brigade of soldiers. The World War One portion of the rules covers the following: African, Balkan, Egypt & Palestine, Eastern, Italian, Mesopotamian, and Western fronts. The Tables of Organization & Equipment have detailed information for 16 different nations. The rules are designed to re-fight the open warfare of the early part of the WWI along with the more static trench battles later in the war. Can you lead your troops in a successful offensive?
