@The-Plastic-Commando
These look really cool! I really want to try these, but I never got 1914 before it went out of print. Would they work for 1940?
Out of curiosity, have you thought of making a barbed wire house rule?

@gen-manstein
Yes

I am happy to say that the rules are nearly done, in the final stages of completion, and I will begin play testing shortly before posting the final copy.
