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..."!?!

Description:


Seljuk—Volume VI in Volko Ruhnke’s Levy & Campaign series—brings players into the challenges of medieval logistics and maneuver across Asia Minor during the clash between Orthodox Christian and Muslim power in the lead-up to the climactic Battle of Manzikert. Players will assume the role of either the Eastern Romans or Seljuk Turks as they seek to make their mark on this historic land. Asymmetric victory objectives and new and unique additions to the Levy & Campaign system mean a dynamic game of cat and mouse between these two great powers.

Across The Bosporus: Bringing Levy & Campaign to Asia Minor

"They were an enemy almost perfectly equipped to defeat Roman fighting doctrine." Designer Justin Fassino discusses the challenge of reflecting "…the highly asymmetric nature of both factions’ objectives…" in this game of the growing clash between the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks. See why Justin points out that "Both sides will have to leverage their strengths against the other to force their own campaign tempo on the game."
