The 1918 Kaiserschlacht (or Spring Offensive) was the last attempt by the German High Command to make a breakthrough in the Western Front.
On the 21st of March 1918, a series of attacks along the front line held by the British Fifth and Third Army began. Strengthened by divisions coming from the Eastern Front and with an extended use of troops trained in infiltration and assault tactics (Stormtroopers), the Germans were able to achieve the largest territory advance of the war.
However, this all-out offensive didn't gain a decisive victory. The Germans lost irreplaceable veteran troops and the conquest of the new territories resulted in hard to defend positions with a supply line that was stretched too far.
The failure of the Kaiserschlacht made the Allies ready to re-take the initiative, commencing the Hundred Days Offensive, which put an end to the War.

Great game. If anyone is still on the fence, now's the time to buy.
I agree, even though I am not so good at it. I would love to see some expansions for it.
I agree with Slick and Gusington. An outstanding game!

Thanks
Sadly, the coupon has expired! Oh well.
It's a great game. Hits that sweet spot in comlpexity for me, where it's deep enough that it takes a while to learn and master but not so inaccessible that I lose because I forgot to tell my soldiers to add a firing step after digging their trenches!
I would have purchased the game if it is playable on Linux (Wine). I researched, but found no evidence of that. So, no buy.
A poster named kirk did some mods for this game at matrix which - as far as I can tell - are no longer available. Does anyone know wher I can access them?
I can thoroughly recommend this game too.
