"Steamroller" is a highly playable, tense, operational look at 1914's pivotal Tannenberg campaign. Command either the German 8th Army or the Russian 1st and 2nd Armies in the battle that decided the early course of the Great War on the Eastern Front. The game is the latest iteration of the system used in Hermann's earlier "Race to the Sea 1914", (as well as "Dead Reckoning") with corps, divisions, and brigades traipsing around the wilderlands of East Prussia and northeastern Poland. Game components include one 11 x 17 game map, one sheet of 88 die-cut counters, and an array of cards used to bid for initiative and determine combat results.
