The game covers the opening campaign of the Great War in the West with the Germans carrying out the Schlieffen Plan and the French their Plan XVII. There are rules and counters for a map campaign but the heart of the system are the novel tabletop rules to fight either corps on corps or multi-corps battles in a few hours where the campaign will give context for the battle created by the campaign manoeuvrings.

We have also included a mini-campaign system where results from the previous corps on corps fight leads to later fights with ever more exhausted forces.
