The Great War is a miniature wargame that recreates the most iconic battles of World War I using Richard Borg's Command & Colours system. In each scenario, players command trench armies, adjusting scale to fit the historical context—from an entire company to a small platoon crossing the line. The core of the game revolves around command cards that dictate movement, create a fog of war, and require players to plan their moves in advance. Battle dice resolve combat quickly, while combat cards add suspense and demand coordination at the right moment. The hexagonal grid provides realistic and strategic terrain, allowing fire, cover, and advance tactics to be applied faithfully to the historical setting. The game takes about 60 minutes, ideal for quick matches yet deep enough for war fans to savor every decision. Components include high‑quality miniatures, a set of command and combat cards, six‑sided dice, and a modular hexagonal board. Although designed for two players, the system can be expanded with future supplements introducing tanks, aircraft, and armies from other nations. If you love war, miniatures, or simply want to experience a historical scenario in a compact format, The Great War offers an engaging and strategic experience. Additionally, the game features a command‑card system that simulates battlefield decisions, forcing players to weigh the risk of advancing versus holding position. The fog‑of‑war mechanic prevents opponents from seeing exact unit locations, creating tension and requiring reliance on limited information. The variety of scenarios allows exploration of different war phases, from 1914 conflicts to 1918 battles, each with unique terrain and logistical challenges. The balance between rule simplicity and strategic depth makes The Great War accessible to beginners yet appealing to veterans seeking a more realistic war experience.
