Over deze content

Bulgaria 1913 deals with the second Balkan war pitting the young and ambitious Kingdom of Bulgaria against its neighbors in order to preserve its conquests achieved in 1912 at the expense of the Ottoman Empire.

The Bulgarian player must launch a surprise attack to quickly crush the Serbian and Greek armies. The coalition player of the allied Serbs and Greeks must repel the Bulgarian assault and try to win over the Romanians and Turks in order to seize the disputed territories.

Bulgaria 1913 is played in 17 rounds over 2 days between June 13 and July 18, 1913 and features two players:

• one simulating the forces of the young and ambitious Kingdom of Bulgaria,

• and the other the Serbian, Montenegrin, Greek, Romanian and Turkish governments.

The Bulgarians strike first and are fully mobilized at the start, but may soon find themselves surrounded. The Allies (initially Serbian and Greek) must push the Bulgarian armies back into Macedonia and attempt to open up new fronts to the north and east.

Event cards will renew the game through a series of diplomatic (watch out for the Germans and Russians), military and political fluctuations.

The Bulgarian player's initial choice may prove crucial to his overall strategy
