Gorlice-Tarnow, 1915
2–2 players · 150 min
Gorlice-Tarnow covers the Eastern Front in World War 1, 1914-1916. Includes troops from Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Serbian, Rumania, Greek, Bulgaria, Italy, Britain, and France. The map (15 x 35, in 6 sections) stretches from Riga to Odessa. Each hex is 25 miles, and each turn a week.
The unique Army Group Command Control system prides itself on simulating "the utter stupidity of WW1 Generals." Six pages of rules cover standard wargame mechanics plus railroads, entrenchments, forts, subject peoples, political consequences, neutrals, weather, and sea transport. Scenarios are included for the campaigns of Lemberg, Gorlice, Brusilov, and a WW1 variant of Drang Nacht Osten!
This game was included in JagdPanther magazine #7 (an oversized issue) which has been rereleased in PDF format by Amarillo Design Bureau. It has amateur DTP production values. Rather large for a magazine game of its time!
