In the Trenches: Devil Dogs

The Battle of Belleau Wood is one of the best-known fights in the history of the United States Marine Corps. For weeks the Marines fought so fiercely that even the defeated Germans came to respect them. They called them Teufelshunde, or Devil Dogs. In this game you dive into those turbulent days and feel the tension of the trenches right at your own table. In the Trenches: Devil Dogs brings you three scenarios from this battle. You command small units and try to gain ground step by step. Each turn stands for five minutes of the real fight, and the maps are carefully recreated from the actual situation. That gives you a sense of how hard it was to keep track of things in the middle of the battle. You play this game with two players and take your time, about two hours per game. The box holds everything you need to get started. There are loose counters to move, three maps, a rulebook and handy player aid cards. All the extra counters for future expansions are already included too. Perfect for history lovers who want to experience a piece of the past together.
