The French Army Expansion is the second expansion for The Great War and it focuses on battles involving the French Army
When Germany declared war on Russia on 1 August 1914, France honoured her treaty with Russia and mobilized to meet an expected German offensive. Germany, as anticipated, marched through Belgium and the rest is history. Although the French Army fought in many battles, the scenarios in this expansion focus on their most famous campaign – Verdun. The Battle of Verdun lasted from February to December 1916, and is a testament to the strength and fortitude of the French armed forces.
Focusing on The Battle of Verdun, this 2nd expansion to Richard Borg's The Great War introduces new scenarios, new terrain tiles, and rules for special personnel figures, along with a complete 1/100 plastic French army and new special personnel figures for the French, British, and German armies.
