First World War Campaigns: FRANCE 1914

[bdtj1815]

Just got an e-mail from Duchet games, HPS's UK distributors, about this game which is to be released on 4th June. Looks very interesting. Here is some more information from the e-mail:

"France '14 is the first title in a new series entitled First World War Campaigns.
This series attempts something that has never been attempted before: to cover all the major campaigns of World War One, with units as low as battalion level.
The history of the war itself is often plagued by inaccurate stereotypes and assumptions. This series attempts to dispel them and fill what is otherwise a void in wargaming history.
The First World War Campaigns series aims to show the evolution of warfare between the Napoleonic period and the Second World War by demonstrating the progress of weapons and tactics. It will show the rise of tanks, poison gas, assault infantry and airpower.
If you enjoy the Panzer Campaigns or the Napoleonic Battles series, then First World War Campaigns will help complete your wargaming experience!"

There is also a list of differences from the PzC series, some of which I can already see people wanting to be put into PzC titles. Many of the differences seem to be things discussed in a number of threads on this forum over the past few months, including:

Detached units -1 morale
Attachments at Army level (I presume this means a "Corps Attachment" type function at Army level.)
All indirect fire is plotted on map and resolved at beginning of next turn!!!
Units moving at night not by rail or road movement become Disrupted
All assaults at night result in Disrupted attackers

Hope we might see some, or all, of these in PzC titles.
