Design by Kerry Anderson. Battalion-company level. Canadian and British infantry, machinegun, and tank units assault a key section of the German trenchlines on the Western Front. Innovative game system gives the real feel of assaulting through no-man's land while creating a simulation that is challenging for both sides Ñ it's not a walk-over for the Canadians, but it's not a duck shoot for the Huns, either. 200 backprinted counters, 22x23" map, 12 pages of rules, chart. Ziplock folio.
At 5:30 AM, April 9, 1917, the artillery of British First Army unleashed the greatest barrage to that date. Half an hour later, 48,000 Canadian soldiers left their trenches to assault the impregnable Vimy Ridge. The French and the British had previously tried to capture the ridge but to no avail. On this battlefield the Canadians were to prove themselves. At 2:00 PM the Canadian troops held the ridge.
Vimy Ridge is a simulation of the Canadian attack. The game covers the battle from the initial barrage to the final objectives reached by 1st Division. |
