Wehrschach

Wehrschach is an almost forgotten tactical chess like game that was released and promoted prior to the Second World War by the German Military to increase the interest in war. It includes a lot of new rules and brings chess to a new level of tactical planning.

Played on a 11x11 squares board with 18 pieces of 5 different types, each war party strives to fulfill one of the various goals to win the battle. Will you aim to destroy the enemy infantry or to conquer their main base? Adopt your play to the strategy of your enemy and crush him.

Environmental tiles restrict or boost your movement, pieces block your path and the devilish reach of artillery and planes ensure a constant threat. The game supports online games as well as offline matches against the AI.
