Take charge as a military and political leader during the most trying and critical times of World War One.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
New features:
· PBEM play mode now generates a PBM file every time the game is saved. This file contains the informations about local player.

· Updated the PBEM Manual PDF accordingly.
· The purpose of this new features is to allow a "host-client" PBEM play mode: a host is designated among players, he is the only player who executes the end-turn procedure and saves the game, then he sends the .SAV and .MAP to all clients.
