Grunwald 1410 (1992)

About this game

"Grunwald 1410" is an operational wargame on the battle between the Teutonic Knights and the combined forces of Poland/Lithuania/Belarus. Battle also known as the 1st Tannenberg. Large colorful 39" x 27" map. Counters (featuring the silhouettes of the major troop types) are printed on card stock and need to be cutout and mounted (similar in style to Vae Victis). Game contains units, leaders and help counters. Some of them, like trap holes counters, shouldn't be used, because newest resarches excluded their use in the original battle. A fairly simple wargame system with command considerations and separate combat tables for different troop types. Rules in Polish but English translation is available. Related Microbadges Dragon fan

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.4/5 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.
