This article takes a look at Walery Wroblewski, included because, as designer Fred Serval points out, "I wanted the deck of Red Flag Over Paris to pay tribute to those polish soldiers that took part in the 1871 insurrection."

"The Versailles player needs to win on the military front to win the game, and the Commune player should focus on the Political aspect of the conflict." Grant Kleinhenz interviews designer Fred Serval about his upcoming GMT Games' Red Flag Over Paris: 1871, The Rise and Fall of the Paris Commune. Sounds like Fred is putting plenty of historical fascination into the game. In other words, he gets it: "...nothing [is] as powerful as having the facts laid out in front of you and asking yourself, 'what should I do now?'. You just can’t beat that."
