Fight for Bühl

Spotlight Article Graphic

"The Austrian artillery is now somewhat exposed, worse - they go low on ammunition (maximum fire is one die - as per a random event ….. unlucky!)" Norm Smith, in Battlefields & Warriors, brings us a fast-paced French/Austrian Napoleonic clash, using his home brew rules. Can the Austrian gunners save themselves and the day when they "...keep up the pressure on the horsemen and eventually, the mauled French cavalry are deterred from making any further attacks..."!?!

Game: Nevsky, Teutons and Rus in Collision, 1240-1242


(n10026) 		 
 




 Publisher: GMT Games
Series: Levy & Campaign Series
Game Type: Board
Designer(s): Volko Ruhnke
Search for this and related games with Noble Knight

Description:


Nevsky is a board wargame about the storied clash between Latin Teutonic and Orthodox Russian powers along the Baltic frontier of the mid-13th-Century. It is the first volume in GMT Games’ Levy & Campaign Series portraying military operations in a variety of pre-industrial conflicts. In Nevsky, players raise and equip their armies, then provision and maneuver them to ravage or conquer enemy territory or defeat enemy forces in battle. Feudal politics obligate an array of lords and vassals to serve on campaign—but only for limited periods. Players must keep an eye on the calendar and reward lords to keep their armies in the field. Nevsky is solitaire friendly or can add a rules option with screens that hide what the two players’ lords levy. A second option adds detail regarding vassal forces’ terms of service.

 The Beautiful Boards of Wargaming! – Nevsky: Teutons and Rus in Collision, 1240-1242 from GMT Games

"...this touch is my favorite design choice as it wreaks of antiquity and the passage of time." Grant Kleinhenz, in The Players' Aid, considers the board for this GMT Games title in his ongoing survey of what he considers the best board designs. Check out the feature that he feels makes for an elegant tie of map and mechanics: "These highlights on the board make it clear that this is a game about supply and transportation as much as it is a game about sieges and pitched battles."

Nevsky: Teutons and Rus in Collision, 1240-1242 from GMT Games is a wargame about the age old struggle between Latin Teutonic and Orthodox Russian powers along the Baltic frontier of the mid-thirteenth century. The game is the first entry in a new series called the Levy & Campaign Series which focuses on pre-industrial age conflicts and, as you can see from the name of the series, requires players to focus on some of the logistics aspects of warfare including providing for the payment and feeding of your vassals and their troops as well as planning out the length of service of your hirelings. In this Action Point, The Players Aid takes a look at the Command Deck and how this simple mechanic sets the tone for the game. 		Web Link
