Axis & Allies WWI 1914

This is not the Second World War. During the war that was meant to end all wars, progress was measured in metres, not kilometres. Italy sided with the Allies, while Turkey, then the heart of the Ottoman Empire, fought alongside the Central Powers. Together with imperial Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire they formed the opposing side. The major Allies, also known as the Entente, were the British Empire, France, Italy, the United States and imperial Russia. Smaller countries fought too, but usually under the command of one of these great powers. Even the American army was in danger of disappearing as a top-up for the French and British troops, until General Pershing put a stop to that. In Axis & Allies WWI 1914 you take command of one of these great powers. Each country has its own infantry figures, and you will also find artillery, tanks, planes and ships for both sides. This is a game for long evenings at the table, in which you relive one of the hardest periods in history together with friends. Open up the map, hand out the roles and see whether your strategy tips the balance.
