Caporetto 1917

The map will run from Mount Canin and Rombon on the West to Tolmino bridgehead on the East, and from Plezzo and Monte Nero on the North to Cividale and the Friuli plains on the South. It will be divided in sectors where each player, or team, will have to achieve its objectives faster than the opponent.

The campaign game will be big, with 2 maps, and over 1000 units and markers, but short, from October 24th to October 27th, when general Cadorna gave the order of general withdrawal in front of an unrecoverable situation. By that time, after 8 Game Turns, the Austro-German troops should have run across the whole map. Caporetto campaign game is a rush, but also a study of two different approaches to warfare in World War One. In Caporetto 1917 you will find units and specializations from the former two games, beside Stosstruppen, Arditi, gas and mine attacks, and more. Small scenarios will cover specific episodes of this epic confrontation, and an alternative campaign game, with Austro-German and Italian counterparts, where the Italian player can freely deploy its reserves (only), and can test if the battle could have gone better for the Italian colors.
