When Eagles Fight (1993)

About this game

When Eagles Fight is two-player game simulating the campaigns fought between the Central powers and Czarist Rusia, from Tanneberg in 1914 to the fall of the Romanov in 1917. Each turn represents one or two months, depending on the season. Each hex equals 25 miles from side to opposite side. Units are mostly corps, with a few divisions representing 10000-60000 men each. The components include rules, the map and the die-cut counters. (source: rulebook)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
