Description
In 1992, Ted S. Raicer published his first design in Command Magazine, 1918: Storm in the West, covering the last nine months of WWI on the Western Front. The game was an immediate success and led to the design of a Plan 1919 variant which assumed a German defensive strategy in 1918 and an all-out Allied assault to win the war the following year. GMT is pleased to offer a new boxed version of these classic Great War designs, with new artwork, and including an additional 1918 Allied Offensive scenario published later in Command.
