italiaN FroNt: 1915-1918
Der Weltkrieg series #5. This wargame contains five separate scenarios,
and can be linked with East Front (and later West Front)
games of the series for duration games.
May 1915: 1st Isonzo
The first battles along the Isonzo are a futile foreshadowing
of what is to come.
May 1916: Strafexpedition
The Chief of Staff of the Austro Hungarian army, Conrad von
Hotzendorff, feels the time is right to strike a blow against Italy.
He ignores the advice of German Chief of staff von Falkenhayn,
who sees the main threat coming from the Russian front.
The Italians in the southern Tyrol have neglected their rear area
defenses. That, and the fury of the Austro-Hungarian attack, puts
the Italian army in peril. Cadorna, its commanding general, rushes
reinforcements to the front. It is a dicey affair, but the Italian lines
hold; the threat along the Isonzo is checked.
May 1917: 10th Isonzo
In endless offensives, valiant Italian infantry go over the top
and into the maelstrom of the Isonzo. Each battle differs from the
last only by its increasing intensity and skyrocketing casualty list.
In the end, both armies are exhausted. The Italians have become
weary of the war, but the Austrians believe one more effort on the
Isonzo can break through.
October 1917: Caporreto
When the Central Powers strike, they break through the Italian
lines along the headwaters of the Isonzo. German and Austrian units
pour through the mountain passes and into the Italian rear areas.
Caporreto is an overwhelming victory for Germany and Austria;
but Italy is not fully defeated, and her citizens rally.
June 1918: Albrecht & Radetzky
Conrad’s attacks across the Piave are initially successful, but
his divisions then bog down. The Austrians are unable to push their
bridgeheads far enough forward to keep their pontoon bridges out
of range of Italian artillery. Unable to reinforce their spearheads
or maintain viable supply lines, the Austro-Hungarian armies fall
back, awaiting the inevitable Italian counterattack.
Components: one 22” x 34” mapsheet, 560 die-cut counters, standard and
scenario books, player aid cards.
