PoG uses a single point to point type map, divided into two sections, Europe and the Near East. Units are armies and corps. Armies are your combat power in most theaters, but in the Near East only a few armies can operate-there most actions will involve corps. Game turns are seasonal. Each turn consists of 6 card play segments for each player.
Many events cause the card to be removed from the game after use.
Players start with just the Mob cards. The play of certain events moves that player's War Status marker up a track. When it reaches certain levels he adds in his LW, and later his TW cards. Unlike We the People and Hannibal, the linear nature of the war, and the multiple uses of each card, make PoG quite suitable for solo play. Any specific questions I'll be happy to answer.
