Description

Dive into the mud‑splattered drama of the 1917 Vimy Ridge assault with a game that lets you command the Canadian forces all by yourself. Designed by Mike Lambo and released in 2022, this solo wargame blends a crisp 30‑to‑60‑minute playtime with rules so easy you’ll be rolling dice, spending action points, and plotting moves on a neat square‑grid in no time. Every turn feels like flipping through a living history book, as event cards throw the chaos of artillery, fog and sudden enemy counter‑attacks right at you. The line‑of‑sight rules give you that satisfying “I see you” moment when you finally line up a perfect barrage, while the action‑point system keeps you juggling offense and defense like a real commander. Perfect for a quick solo escape into World War I strategy without the headache of massive rulebooks—just pure, gritty fun on a single tabletop.
