Description Edit | History

Subtitle: Four World War I Battles

This is actually 4 games in one. A "fifth wheel" to the series (using the same standard rules) was the Strategy & Tactics magazine game Tannenberg.
Series designer: David C. Isby
Author of historical article: Richard Spence

Serbia/Galicia: Austria-Hungary must decide how to allocate its forces and respond to progress or the lack of it on two fronts as it undertakes the offensives in Serbia and tries to withstand the onslaught of the Russian juggernaut in its own Galicia province.
Designer: J.A. Nelson

Von Hindenberg in Poland: Russia and Germany battle for the mineral-rich province of Silesia.
Designer: Anthony Beavers

The Brusilov Offensive: One of the few effective Russian generals of the periods gets the Russian act together, despite lack of ammunition, and launches one of the most successful Russian drives of the war. Will it help lessen German pressure against the Allies on the Western front? (With the more controversial Tannenberg, star game of the series.)
Designer: James F. Dunnigan

Caporetto, 1917: the Central Powers push the Italians back over 100 miles. (Dog of the series.)
Designer: Albert A. Nofi

Contents: 4 17"x22" maps, 800 playing pieces, 2 standard rules booklets, 4 exclusive rules booklets, original SPI tray and dice.
