PAPER WARS: Issue 97-- Battle for Galicia, 1914

1-PWAR097

Battle for Galicia, 1914 models the opening campaign of WWI fought between Imperial Russia and Austria-Hungary on the plains of Galicia and southern Poland. Simulated are the concurrent offensives launched by the two belligerents; the Austro-Hungarian thrust northward direction to Lublin and the Russian concentric attack aimed at Lemberg.

The game combines simple mechanics (although not simplistic) with a historically accurate map and order of battle. The synthesis of the maneuver, effectiveness of recovery, and combat resolution sub-systems highlight the important aspects of the campaign.
