Description

We Shall Fight on the Marne (PnP) is an operational level simulation of the battle of the First Marne, 1914. Having invaded Belgium and north eastern France, the German army had reached within 30 miles of Paris. With victory seemingly near, the German First Army was instructed to encircle Paris from the east. Thus began the battle of the First Marne.

Can the Germans end the war quickly? Or will the Allies push them back? Game features include destroying bridges and building pontoons bridges, cavalry screening and breaking corps units into divisions.
