The first battle of the Marne

Référence : TPS-18

It DID appear to be a miracle. When the war started, the French had gone all-out in their Plan XVII offensives aimed at recapturing Alsace and Lorraine, losing a quarter-of-a-million troops in the process. And nearly losing Paris as well.

Gournay-sur-Marne (93)

But the canny Joseph Gallieni, charged with defending Paris had done so by marshaling his forces and looking for the right opportunity to strike back. The Germans gave it to him.

The Marne has many novel wrinkles. It was the first battle in which observation planes are credited with providing critical information - they spotted a gap between German armies and the opportune place for a counterattack. Paris was on the edge of defeat. Two German armies were almost surrounded and destroyed. And then, there were the 600 taxicabs, legendary for rushing reserves to a critical area. Gallieni’s quote was, “Well, here at least is something out of the ordinary!" And so much about the battle was exactly that - Out of the ordinary.

Like miracles.

When it was over, the casualties were staggering. Two million men had participated. Half-a-million were lost. It was the largest “open field” operation of the war, with both sides fighting in desperation and the highest daily combined casualty counts of any battle in the war.

The Marne includes:
One full color, 11” x 17” mounted map
200 full color, die-cut counters
12 page rulebook

The First Battle of the Marne ended German hopes for a quick finish, and set the stage for all that followed throughout the 20th Century. Up for it?

Ho ordinato un’espansione per un gioco di carte dall’Italia. Ho contattato più volte il servizio clienti in quanto avevo bisogno mi arrivasse entro una certa data. Sono stati molto disponibili e professionali, e la spedizione è arrivata quando avevano promesso, merci beaucoup!

J'ai commandé en ligne (pour un jeu qui n'était pas en stock ailleurs !), l'envoi a été hyper rapide, les étapes de prise en charge de la commande sont confirmées par mail, et le colis était très soigné. Allez-y les yeux fermés !

Une excellente découverte ! Le propriétaire est non seulement très sympathique, mais aussi passionné, disponible et de bon conseil. On sent qu’il aime ce qu’il fait, et ça se reflète dans l’ambiance chaleureuse de la boutique. Le choix est varié, les produits sont bien présentés, et on a tout de suite envie d’acheter… encore et encore ! Une boutique locale qui mérite d’être connue et soutenue. J’y reviendrai avec plaisir !
