Bitwa Warszawska is a game coveting one of the most important battles of the twentieth century. The battle of Warsaw was fought in 1920 between the Polish troops defending the freshly recovered independence of their country and the Soviet forces trying to bring the flame of the communist revolution to Central Europe. The epic struggle finished with a decisive Polish victory stopping the Soviet advance and most probably saving Europe from a Bolshevik incursion. The game was designed and published to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the battle. One player (or one team) will take control of the Polish forces whereas the other will play the Soviets. Using a deck of cards they will be adding new troops to the frontline, manœuvre their forces and deploy powerful leaders. At the end of each turn battles will be resolved and victory points will be allocated. The first side to reach 7 points wins.
