La Guerra di Gradisca 1615-1617

A historical simulation of the 1615–1617 conflict between Venetian and Habsburg forces along the northeastern Adriatic, focusing on raids, border skirmishes, sieges and political maneuvering in Istria and the Gulf of Venice. Players command military units and use a card-driven system to trigger historical events, deploy forces and influence political conditions. Unit activation follows an unpredictable sequence each turn, creating variable campaign outcomes and replayability. Strategic choices balance military operations with event effects as players pursue objectives such as controlling fortresses, stopping corsair raids and shaping regional power.
