Dominion of the Trenches

This stand-alone set of rules is built on the Dominion of the Spear game system, but is a brand-new set of rules with appropriate rule changes for World War One. These are very, very simple rules with armies of three to seven units, and a solo battle can be fought in ten to fifteen minutes. An example play-through is included. There is a Quick Reference Sheet on the back cover. Use paper and pen (or model figures of any scale) as there is no measuring (grid used). Uses two six-sided dice.

24 historical battles and campaigns are included ready to play, each with a brief background, army lists, deployment, and brief account of what happened historically. Together they provide a simple overview of World War One covering the Western Front, the Eastern Front, Gallipoli, East Africa, the Middle East, and Italy:
