Produktbeschreibung
This game covers Mons, 23-24 Aug 1914. As Ty Bomba stated during playtesting, "It is a rare instance where a good (German) army comes up against an excellent (British Expeditionary Force) army." Done with large counters and large hex map, it is easy to play and a great challenge.
The Old Contemptibles: The Battle of Mons, 1914 is an operational-level simulation of the first major clash between the Germans and British in 1914. The "German player" is on the offensive, attempting to win the game by eliminated or isolating British units and seizing key terrain on the map. The "British player" is on the defensive, first attempting to prevent the German player from achieving that side's objectives, then escaping off the map with the BEF still intact.
1 mile/hex, 2 hours/turn, regiments-battalions. 34x22 inch map, 123 large (5/8 inch) counters, and a magazine. |
