Namibia 1915 tells the story of the Allied conquest of the German colony of South West Africa (Namibia) between 1914 and 1915. The South African and British armies tried to seize the enemy zones as quickly as possible. The Germans tried to hold on with their weak forces, relying on the Boer uprisings.

Namibia 1915 is played over 18 turns, each representing three weeks between August 1914 and July 1915. It features two players, one simulating the Anglo-South African Allied forces, later supported by Portuguese forces from Angola, and the other the German Imperial Government and Boer rebels.

The South Africans are numerous at the start, but the Boer uprisings quickly block their initial offensive.
The Germans' numbers are small, but their quality is good.

Event cards allow the game to be renewed through a variety of diplomatic, military, political and economic fluctuations. The capture of German towns and their governor are crucial for the Allied player.

Average playing time: 2h30.
Favored side: none.
Hardest side to play: Germans.
