Ridge, April 9th to April 12th 1917, was part of
the Battle of Arras in north-eastern France and
took place during World War One. It was the first
time that the four Divisions of the Canadian
Corps fought together as one and is arguably
Canada8217smost celebrated military victory.
The Ridge itself was a crucial strategic location
and previous attempts by the British and French
to take it had failed. New tactics for assaulting
trenches were employed, where enemy units were
pinned and suppressed with machine gun fire and
other weapons before infantry ran in with
bayonets to finish the job. Soldiers were given
more flexibility to make decisions 8216onthe
fly8217supported by non-commissioned officers
in situations where officers had been lost to
enemy fire. In addition, troops were allocated
specific roles, for example as specialist
grenade throwers. The German defences
were under-prepared to use their own new tactics
for defending trench positions. In addition, the
Canadian forces were advancing behind a rolling
barrage of artillery fire which caused German
soldiers to run for cover into underground
chambers to avoid annihilation. This helped the
Canadians to enter the trenches before the enemy
could recover and reinforce. The Ridge was
taken, and the battle was over in four days.In
the game, the Player will take control of a
Sergeant who finds himself as the highest ranking
person amongst a selection of various units,
representing small groups of remaining men in
rifle squads, grenade squads and machine gun
teams, seeking to achieve various Objectives. The
exploits of each of the four Divisions of the
Canadian Corps is represented by its own campaign
across three connected mission maps, giving
twelve mission maps in total.The aim of this book
is to
present a quickly. It learn and
clear, accessible, and quick to learn game, so
that players can get into the action does not try
to replace more complex wargames which often take
many hours to to play. Each of the 12 missions
can be played in around 30 to 60 minutes, and
4
each one should provide plenty of replayability
due to the random set up of the initial
forces and the outcome of the many action points
in the game.This book is a solitaire wargame.
