From the pen of The Great War writer Alex Buchel comes Warhammer Historical's next release - Over the Top. This supplement covers the period during the First World War from 1915 to 1918, adding a wealth of detail to its parent rulebook.

Over the Top contains a full year-by-year overview of the 1915-18 period, new Battalion-level army lists for British Empire, French and German forces, and a new army list for the American Expeditionary Force, including the Devil Dogs and US Tank Companies. It also contains detailed rules covering such actions as assaulting a trench line, or leading a hand-picked party on a trench raid, as well as background missions to set miniature wargames within the larger backdrop of some of the greatest actions of the First World War.

New rules are included to add to the scope of The Great War, including Heavy Artillery, a new Command and Control mechanism and full rules for fighting Big Battles: engagements such as Loos, Artois, Passchendaele, the Somme and Vimy Ridge, and this full colour 176-page, softback book is lavishly illustrated with maps, colour photographs of period militaria, and both colour and black-and-white photographs of a huge selection of miniatures and scenery.

When war broke out in August 1914, the majority of military commanders felt that the war would be over by Christmas. The early clashes developed into huge offensives all ending in stalemate.

Battlefield technology and tactics evolved at a spectacular pace with the tank, airplane support and coordinated bombardment becoming commonplace.

As 1918 dawned these new weapons of war spearheaded the offensives, but it was still the soldier’s war to win or lose, where men endured heroically under fire.

The Great War core rulebook contains the following:

• A brief historical overview.

• Western Front 1914 and 1918 British, French and German Battalion level army lists.

• Sample army rosters so you can start collecting and playing quickly.

• Standard and Operational Missions.

• Inspiring photographs of the armies for reference when painting and collecting.

The Great War core rulebook is the first in a series enabling gamers to recreate the conflicts of World War One on the table-top.
