 Award Winning Gaming
They called it the Great War. In over four years of titanic struggle,
the ancient Europe of Kings and Emperors tore itself to pieces, giving
birth to our own violent modern age. The bloody battles fought in the
trenches of the Western Front, the icy plains of Poland, the mountains
of the Balkans, and the deserts of Arabia, shaped the world we know
today. We are all orphans of the Great War.
Paths of Glory: The First World War, designed by six-time Charles S. Roberts Award winner, Ted Raicer,
allows players to step into the shoes of the monarchs and marshals who
triumphed and bungled from 1914 to 1918. As the Central Powers you must
use the advantage of interior lines and the fighting skill of the
Imperial German Army to win your rightful "place in the sun." As the
Entente Powers (Allies) you must bring your greater numbers to bear to
put an end to German militarism and ensure this is the war "to end all
wars." Both players will find their generalship and strategic abilities
put to the test as Paths of Glory's innovative game systems let you recreate all the dramatic events of World War I.
