Description

West Front covers the intense fighting in Europe from the invasion of Sicily in 1943 to the fall of Berlin in 1945. Improved rules allow for seamless integration of the game into East Front and Euro Front, allowing players to cover the entire European theater of World War II, from the Spanish Civil War all the way to the fall of Nazi Germany.

In order to create a fog of war, unit blocks are stood up with the backs facing the opponent. In this manner the opponent not tell the type or the strength of the units being deployed against him until battle begins. Along the sides of the unit blocks, only visible to the owner until it comes time for combat, are numbers that represent the strength of the unit. The current strength is on top. As the unit takes losses, it is rotated so a lesser value is on top.
