About the game
The Hungarian War of Independence was the largest and longest of the conflicts arising from Europe’s Year of Revolution in 1848. It lasted a year, saw half a million troops engaged, and generated dozens of significant engagements on three major fronts. Dedicated research now makes this neglected conflict accessible to wargamers. BBHB lets you refight sixteen of the most important battles of the war! Each scenario gives you: A clear and accurate historical situation New decisions for both sides every turn Simple but ingenious victory conditions A battle you can fight to the finish in an evening A great game that will ebb and flow to the end! Most also offer scenario options to explore ‘what-ifs’ and increase replay value. Campaign options allow players to link battles so that each has consequences for the next. —description from the publisher
