Description

The Imperial German Army pushes hard through Belgium intending to swing south into France. All that stands in the way is a small British Expeditionary Force. At the same time, the French Army strikes into the lost territory of Alsace-Lorraine driving the Germans back. Little do the French know it is a trap.
