	Description Edit \| History

Published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #83. Game of the German March 1918 offensive on the Western Front.

Game play on UGO/IGO system. Weird combat system without tables but roll die and multiply strength points and compare results by dividing attacker against defender. Compare against defender's morale rating for result. Brits are mainly on the defensive... using units as speed bumps. Germans win by exiting units off the West edge of map.
