Description

--- <TLDR> Axis & Allies WWI variant introduces era-specific units, detailed global map, and setups for nine powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottomans, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Italy, USA. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *WWI unit rules* Specialized rules for unit types unique to World War I. - *Detailed world map* A more divided map covering the entire world. - *Nation setups* Pre-configured starting positions for Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, British Empire, French Empire, Russia, Japan, Italy, and United States. This expansion or variant for the Axis & Allies system adapts the classic strategic wargame to World War I, incorporating new rules tailored to period-specific unit types such as trench warfare elements, early aircraft, or cavalry. It features a highly detailed, subdivided world map that enhances tactical depth across global theaters. The game provides balanced initial setups for nine major powers—Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire) and Entente/Allied forces (British Empire, French Empire, Russia, Japan, Italy, United States)—enabling multiplayer scenarios that simulate the complex alliances and fronts of the Great War. ---
