During the time that Great War has been out, players have asked questions about the game. The questions and their answers have been gathered into this document. Please note that this is an on-going project. To help players who have read earlier versions of Notes From the Recent Fighting, new material is marked with a line in the left margin. — Wayne Turner, Game Designer
