Guns of August Deluxe is a major "deluxification" (updating) of our original title published in 2010.

The Guns of August simulates the first three months of WWI in the West, when mobility reigned and the fate of France hung in the balance.

Game mechanics compensate for players’ 20/20 hindsight to encourage historically accurate play that makes “sense” in game terms while avoiding a “straight jacket” of special rules to force irrational play. Players maneuver corps and divisions through 9-mile wide hexagons in turns that span three days each. Chit pull activation, along with modest movement point allowances, generates a highly interactive game. Combat uses artillery and rifles to reveal the comparative strengths of the opposing armies. Optional rules for variable set up and fog of war counters shroud the game in uncertainty and increase replay value.

All known errata is being incorporated into the rules.  The game box will now be a sturdy Worthington Publishing game box, the game board will be updated and hard mounted, the counters are being updated to our new clean punch counters with pre-rounded corners, each player will receive their own set of rules, and the game will come with a counter tray.
