We played a game today recreating a portion of the 2nd Battle of the Aisne in April & May 1917. The particular section was the advance by a large number of Schneider CA.1 tanks; the first significant use of tanks by the French during the Great War. I’ve selected a few of the best pictures that I took during the game. Hope you enjoy seeing them.
