Kaiser's Battles. The way I read the rules concerning the first two turn of german artillery attack there's no way to achieve results. Modifived die rolls ( terrain, fog, and morale of British) yeild zero results. Can you advise? — Asked by Anonymous

For guidance with fellow gamers, please post your question here on our dedicated topic for The Kaiser’s Battle (SPI). You’ll find some discussion about use of artillery in the game there already. Thanks!

   

This is a cool-looking little game. You get air-to-air, strafing, bombing and balloon busting in two pages of rules!
