Canada on the Attack
Game Design: Kerry Anderson
EASTER MONDAY
At 5:30 AM, April 9, 1917, the artillery of British First Army unleashed the greatest barrage to that date. Half an hour later, 48,000 Canadian soldiers left their trenches to assault the impregnable Vimy Ridge. The French and the British had previously tried to capture the ridge but to no avail. On this battlefield the Canadians were to prove themselves. At 2:00 PM the Canadian troops held the ridge.
Vimy Ridge is a simulation of the Canadian attack. The game covers the battle from the initial barrage to the final objectives reached by 1st Division.
The 22 x 17"map covers the battlefield at 250 yards per hex. The 280 counters show the company and battalion units from the Canadian Corp and the German Gruppe Vimy. Special rules are included for barbed wire, mines, tanks and Canadian gallantry.
Please note: Vimy Ridge is the re-release of the game Vimy Ridge: 1917 formerly published by Pacific Rim. There are minimal changes in the rules but the graphics have been substantially changed.
Vimy Ridge represents a special order item with nearly double the standard MDG components.
