Fields of Despair: France 1914-1918^*

Players control the Allies or the Central Powers during the First World War on the Western Front in this strategic hex-based war game for two. Each player faces challenging economic and technological decisions while fighting on land, at sea, and in the air.

The game features a unique block system that maintains the fog of war throughout. Unlike most games with combat values ranging from one to four, values here range from zero to twenty, allowing for deceptive strategies where players can disguise their true strength. Movement is fluid, with players able to alter block values during the movement phase, creating uncertainty about their opponent's capabilities even after contact is made.
