Introduction World War One: La Grande Guerre 14–18 (<strong>WW1</strong>) is a historical strategy simulation that recreates the four years of warfare (1914–1918) that shook the world during the Great War. Players assume the role of military and political leaders in command of land and naval forces belonging to either the Entente or Central Powers nations. Using a system of simultaneous turn resolution, the simulation can be played against either the computer’s artificial intelligence (AI) or a human opponent using Internet (LAN) or (TCP/IP). Unique Features and Concepts World War One: La Grande Guerre 14–18 has many new features and concepts have been incorporated into the game play. ● The game is played in alternating phases of giving orders followed by simultaneous execution, with an original three-modes turn-base resolution ● Easy to play, hard to master, play a scenario over a few hours or a full X-turn Grand Campaign following in Foch’s or Luddendorf’s footsteps! ● A large selection of Scenarios (10) and Campaigns (4) ● The largest World War One map ever, with unequalled historicallyflavored look and detail levels ● 8 playable major nations, dozens of different troops, planes and ships, hundreds of military, economic, political and technological events, over 200 historical leaders with unique abilities ● An original diplomatic system, with your ambassadors to send all over the world to alter the balance of power between the Entente (i.e. Allies) and the Central Powers ● Organize armies, manage supply, produce munitions, recruits and new weapons, use sea and rail moves, and put the best leaders in command (if politics allows), take care of your nation’s will to fight! ● Break the trench warfare deadlock by pursuing technological research or fighting the economic blockade 6 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918 ● Play secret stratagems to influence the course of events with famous characters like Lawrence of Arabia, Mata Hari, Lenin or the Red Baron ● Fight to reconquer lost provinces, ensure European or worldwide supremacy, or just survival of the old order: victory can be military or political, as national will, population morale and parliament all play a crucial role. ● Playable via LAN or Internet in multiplayer mode ● Dozens of fully customizable parameters to make the Great War yours for modding Game Scale World War One: La Grande Guerre 14–18 consists of a number of scenarios that are divided into game turns each representing one month on average of game time. The smallest military unit in the game is the Division, but most often a Corps. Ships and airplanes come into the form of Squadrons (4 to 8 units on average). The map is a 2D representation of Europe in its entirety-stretching from St. Petersburg in the East to the Spanish border in the West, and UK in the North to the shores of the Persian Gulf and Egypt in the southeast. It is divided into regions, areas, and theaters. Far away areas of the whole world are represented by Off Map boxes.
