Introduction
World War One: La Grande Guerre 14–18 (WW1) 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).

Game Scale

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
