About Red Poppies: WWI Tactics
Red Poppies simulates regimental-sized engagements from WWI with company-level units in 10 minute turns on maps scaled at 200 yards per hex. The game strives to illustrate the sort of command and control trade-offs that typified WWI battles. The units involved are companies and platoons, making this one of the few games to cover World War I small unit tactics. In addition, there are rules for tanks, barbed wire, artillery support, infiltration tactics, cavalry, and machine guns.
