In Flanders Fields - The Second Battle of Ypres, 1915 (1st Printing)

What the British tried to do at Neuve Chapelle, break the deadlock on the western front, the Germans attempted in the second battle of Ypres. They had developed a terrible new agent, the poison-gas, by which they hoped to wipe out every life in an opposing trench and so break the Allied line of defense, sweep over it at will, and drive their foes to despair with agony and terror.

And thus begins the Battle of Second Ypres 1915. The situation is ideal for a wargame, an opening in the Allied lines before Ypres, with the Germans poised to exploit and a Canadian counter-attack— providing both sides opportunities to attack and defend.
