Angol leírás

"White Eagle Eastward" simulates the "War in the Borderlands" of 1920. What began as an extension of the Russian Civil War in 1919 became a full scale conflict between two modem nations. Poland, free once again, defends its independence by striking deep into the heart of its old nemesis, Russia. The Red Army, still deeply involved in its Civil War, drives to reconquer the Tsar's old possessions and push the Red Banner of Communism into Western Europe. The tactics and weapons of this war formed a strange blend of old and new. For the last time, a great European battle could end with the sound of trumpets and a charge of horsemen. Yet the tank, the airplane, the machinegun and the railroad all played their role as well.

The Russo-Polish war provided both a final glimpse of the 19th century and an early look at the strategies of World War Two. This game simulates the Russo-Polish war of 1920 at the operational/strategic level. It uses simple rules, with numerous options for greater realism and/or play balance.
