About the game
What you do in a play session
The Ground Fortified is a tactical wargame set during the 1940 Battle of France in WWII. You'll either lead the German assault on the infamous (and supposedly impenetrable) Maginot Line or command the French forces trying to hold the line. The game focuses on armor units: the French have more and better tanks, but the Germans boast better-trained troops and superior tactics. It uses a system similar to its predecessor, The Ground Between, so veterans of the series will pick it up quickly. The big question: Can the French hold out until reinforcements arrive, or will the Germans break through the border? Dust off your dice and hex grid map - history is in your hands!
