About the game
In July 1920, the Red Army's Tukhachevsky launched an offensive to put an end to the war with Poland that had begun the previous year. His goal was Warsaw, but it was only a passing phase. After conquering Poland, the aim was to export the revolution to Germany and then to all of Europe. However, Piłsudski, the commander of the Polish army, ordered a desperate counterattack against the southern flank of the Western Front, which was created by the delay in the advance of the Southwestern Front. With this blow, the Western Front collapsed, and the dying Poland was saved by the "Miracle of the Wisła River". Warsaw 1920 is a two-player strategy game based on the Polish-Soviet War. One player is in charge of the Russian army, aiming to take control of Poland. The other player is in charge of the Polish army, protecting the newly independent country from the red tsunami. The game system is a typical "IGO-UGO" with both players alternating turns, but each player can combine up to three movement or combat phases, and the Russians are constrained by supply, so players will have a lot of decisions to make.
