I seriously doubt that WWI West front at this scale (like really really large scale) can be strategically interesting so the designer felt the need to add gimmicky bluffing and cumbersome subsystems that have little or no impact on the main action (such as the War in the East cube drawing subphase). This is compounded by goofy supply rules: units can survive indefinitely behind enemy lines with no attrition whatsoever, cut off from any communication with their base, and the French draw their supply only from the West, which creates an end of the world effect where a two-hex advance from the Germans east of Paris would cut off the entire eastern part of the frontline (because obviously, as everybody knows, supply cannot be diverted south and towns like Lyon have no industry). Overall I could overlook these flaws if the game were strategically more interesting but alas it is just a ponderous slog once the race to the sea is over. I know that's the way it's supposed to be but still, not much fun.

Didn't like how easy it is switch units around. For me, it turned it from a WW1 game into a guessing game. Gorgeous looking title that I wanted to love but ended up feeling meh about. Sold.

Primera partida escenario de 1914. Un juego con ideas frescas y que intenta simplificar y abstraer de forma original partes de la Primera Guerra Mundial mientras hacemos las operaciones militares en el oeste. Dinámico y rápido, buenas sensaciones pero con reservas: puedes mover todas tus piezas en el turno y la fase estratégica hacen que acumules el máximo de divisiones en los puntos de ataque. El tema de los aviones también me parece embrollado para el resultado. El escenario de 1914 es un Alemán Arrollador que es imparable por parte del Francés, no consiguieron llegar a París, pero el Francés no tiene fuerzas para intentar contraataques debido a la concentración de fuerzas del alemán en los puntos clave, el puede cubrir todo y el Francés como mucho mantener.
