## Description
Get ready to relive the battlefields of World War I in a way you've never seen before! In Axis & Allies: WWI 1914, the war is fought yard by yard, not by vast distances. Forget blitzkriegs and fast-moving armored divisions; here, the fight is one of attrition, where every advance is hard-won and every defensive line is held tooth and nail. You take command of one of the great powers of the era – either on the side of the Allies (British Empire, France, Italy, USA, Imperial Russia) or the Central Powers (Imperial Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire). Each nation has its own unique infantry miniatures, plus artillery, tanks, aircraft, and naval units to wage epic battles. Designer Larry Harris reminds us that progress here is measured by tenacity and efficiency, not speed. Your resources of men and material are finite, demanding careful planning and smart tactical decisions to overcome the enemy. The war is brutal, and advances are slow, reflecting the harsh reality of trench warfare. This game is for those seeking a more measured wargame experience, focused on resource management and strategic combat, where patience and strategy are as important as brute force. Prepare for hours of historical and tactical immersion!
