Description

A Fatal Attraction: The Gallipoli Campaign is a gripping wargame that drops you into the midst of one of World War I's most infamous battles. Designed by Paul Rohrbaugh and first published in 2007, this game puts you in command of the Allied French and Commonwealth forces as they launch a daring offensive against Turkey. The game's concept is rooted in a fascinating piece of history - Winston Churchill's brainchild to use outdated warships to intimidate the Turkish regime into surrendering, an idea that ultimately backfired and led to catastrophic losses on both sides. As you delve into the game, you'll take on the challenges faced by your historical counterparts, from supply shortages to command and control difficulties, all while navigating the complexities of a hexagon grid and zone of control. With 280 counters representing brigades, batteries, and ships, you'll have the opportunity to rewrite history and achieve the breakthrough that eluded the Allies in 1915. Be prepared to invest some time, though - a typical game can last up to 360 minutes. Despite the complexity, the rules are of normal complexity, making it accessible to those familiar with board games. Whether you're a history buff or a strategy enthusiast, A Fatal Attraction offers a unique and engaging experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
