Gallipoli: Ordered to Die

Refight the battles at Anzac Cove during the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, in three scenarios covering the invasion, counterattack, and August offensive. In this two-player, diceless game, players take three actions per turn to move units and attack. Combat compares unit values, with the losing unit and the attacker both flipped. Secret chits provide extra actions or combat advantages. The ANZAC player seeks to control enough territory to achieve the scenario’s objective, while the Ottoman player aims to prevent it. Each scenario plays in under 60 minutes.
