Description

What the British tried to do at Neuve Chapelle, break the deadlock on the western front, the Germans attempted in the second battle of Ypres. They had developed a terrible new agent, the poison-gas, by which they hoped to wipe out every life in an opposing trench and so break the Allied line of defense, sweep over it at will, and drive their foes to despair with agony and terror.

And thus begins the Battle of Second Ypres 1915. The situation is ideal for a wargame, an opening in the Allied lines before Ypres, with the Germans poised to exploit and a Canadian counter-attack— providing both sides opportunities to attack and defend.

In Flanders Fields is a game of the battle of Second Ypres, 1915 and features top quality components through-out. Contents: 22"x30" map by an artist making his debut in the wargaming field, artist, plus 280 die-cut counters, a unique 36-page rulebook, and as a SPECIAL BONUS the historical guide entitled "Ypres....perspectives" which includes Game Design and Historical Notes, and a series of articles by witnesses to the battle, from Generals to the men in the trenches, to bring the gamer lacking even a single book on the subject up to speed in one supporting document.
