Suez 1916: The Ottomans Strike

In August 1916, Ottoman, German, and Austro-Hungarian forces launch a night attack against the Suez Canal, a vital British communications and trade route. The British must defend the canal while the Central Powers seek to exploit surprise and initiative. Using the Fire & Movement system, players maneuver regiment- and brigade-level units across a hex-based map and resolve combat with infantry, motorized forces, artillery, mortars, and aircraft. Support fire can be committed during combat, allowing bombardments to strengthen attacks or disrupt expected assaults. Victory depends on maneuver, firepower, and managing available assets.
