RE: Your first cardboard wargame?
Well, all I seem to remember of 1914 (besides the glossy historical book and pretty map) was dense crowds of multi-unit stacks that constantly fell over (I think I tried to make myself a casino croupier stick out of a coat hanger and tinfoil to push them around), and trying endlessly to bombard some fortress (Douai?) with the German RR guns (which seemed like the coolest counters in the game because they were super-powerful and long-ranged).
Tactical WWI, in 1914 and pre-trench era, might be interesting to play since it's that weird mix of modern artillery, horse cavalry MGs, and no armor yet. I guess that's what PG Infantry Attacks is about, right? Named after Rommel's book on his exploits as a junior infantry officer during that same period.
