Guns of August puts players in command of waging WWI at a grand strategic scale from Paris to Baghdad, says the game's official description. The entire Western, Eastern, Italian and Balkan fronts are included as are the three fronts of the Ottoman Empire. Production, Combat, Diplomacy, Research, Trenches, Fog of war - Land, Sea and Air combat are all included! Gamers use land units like infantry corps complete with separate artillery units to precisely directing barrages on the enemy's line. As time goes by, players must deal with changing combat situations like the introduction of the Stosstruppen and even mighty tanks charging though lines to break though the stalemate!
