Guns of August (Deluxe Edition)

Guns of August: Deluxe Edition is a major "deluxification" (updating) of the original title published in 2010. The game simulates the first three months of WWI in the West, when mobility reigned and the fate of France hung in the balance.

Game mechanics compensate for players’ 20/20 hindsight to encourage historically accurate play that makes “sense” in game terms while avoiding a “straight jacket” of special rules to force irrational play. Players maneuver corps and divisions through 9-mile wide hexagons in turns that span three days each. Chit pull activation, along with modest movement point allowances, generates a highly interactive game. Combat uses artillery and rifles to reveal the comparative strengths of the opposing armies. Optional rules for variable set up and fog of war counters shroud the game in uncertainty and increase replay value.

All known errata has been incorporated into the rules. The game box is now a sturdy Worthington Publishing game box, the game board has been updated and hard mounted, the counters have been updated to new clean punch counters with pre-rounded corners, each player receives their own set of rules, and the game comes with a counter tray.

Each copy of Guns of August Deluxe contains the following:

• Beautiful sturdy game box
• Hard mounted game board
• 2 rule books (1 for each player)
• 2 player aids (1 for each player / part of counter sheet)
• 2 sheets of counters
• 1 six sided die
• Custom tray
