Balkans 1912 retraces the first Balkan War, which pitted the new Balkan states (Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro) allied together in a Coalition and eager to expand their territories at the expense of the declining Ottoman Empire. The Coalition player must quickly seize the entire Balkans. The Ottoman (Turkish) player must try to repel the multiple assaults and, above all, hold on to Istanbul.

Balkans 1912 is played over 21 turns (each representing 10 days between October 8, 1912 and April 23, 1913). It features two players, one controlling the army and fleet of the old Ottoman Turkish Empire in Europe, the other the armies and fleets of the Serbian, Montenegrin, Bulgarian and Greek governments.

• The Ottomans must hold out for as much as they can so that their Asian troops can reinforce their armies in Europe.

• The Balkaninc Coalition seeks to seize as much Turkish territory as possible, without the other Great European Powers taking offense and forcing a cease-fire.

Event cards are used to renew the game through a variety of diplomatic, military, political and economic fluctuations.
