Introduction
The second edition of Illusions of Glory: The Great War on the Eastern Front (“IoG”) is currently on the P-500 list. Links to prototype unit counters, player aid cards, mapboard, and playbook can be found on the IoG webpage.
Google’s Artificial Intelligence says that IoG is a “heavyweight wargame with a great design”, that the game “has a fascinating and tense theme centered on World War One’s Eastern Front”, and that “players are advised to use the latest living rules and consider buying the upcoming second edition”.
