Strategy & Tactics #355: 11 Days War – WWI East Front, 1918 delivers a detailed two-player wargame alongside a collection of historical articles, focusing on one of the most dramatic and fast-moving offensives of the First World War.

• Operational WWI Eastern Front Wargame – Recreate Operation Faustschlag, the Central Powers’ final offensive against Bolshevik Russia in early 1918, covering both the initial 11-day assault and the subsequent advance into Ukraine.
• Dynamic Multi-Faction Conflict – Command the Central Powers or Bolshevik forces, while managing the unpredictable involvement of “Green” factions that may shift allegiance during the game.
• Realistic Campaign System – Models the challenges of late winter and spring operations, where railways, weather conditions, and logistics play a critical role in movement and strategy.
• Includes Historical Articles – Features additional content on the Siege of Badajoz, the Battle of Ankara (1402), and the Russo-Georgian War of 2008, providing rich historical context alongside gameplay.

Players must carefully plan offensives, manage supply lines, and adapt to rapidly changing conditions as they attempt to achieve their strategic objectives during this chaotic phase of the Eastern Front and the early Russian Civil War.

The game includes multiple scenarios representing different stages of the campaign, with each turn covering between one and ten days of operations. Units range from brigades to corps, with additional markers representing specialised forces such as airpower and propaganda efforts.
