Edelweiss Division/
Limanowa 1914
An Infantry Attacks Historical Study

In August 1914, the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Army’s finest division marched out of Salzburg and Linz to confront the Russians in Poland. Through four and a half years of bitter warfare, the 3rd “Edelweiss” Mountain Division racked up an astonishing record of battlefield successes, even as the Empire it served finally crumbled around it.

Edelweiss Division: A Historical Study continues the tale that we began in Infantry Attacks: Fall of Empires. It’s actually two books: one devoted to the history of the campaign (128 pages) and another (32 large-format pages) with 30 new Infantry Attacks scenarios. The Historical Study is a new type of book for us: with so much history and other background that we have to put it in its own book, and then the game scenarios and game stuff in their own, separate book.

In the book Limanowa 1914, we talk about the campaign in Galicia in late 1914 between Austria-Hungary and Imperial Russia, and in particular the December 1914 Battle of Limanowa. That’s more than will fit into a single book, so we’re telling this story in two of them: one of history, one of game stuff.

Edelweiss Division also includes 88 new die-cut, mounted pieces displaying the division’s units in their own special color scheme PLUS the Polish Legion. There are also 30 new scenarios from the December 1914 Battle of Limanowa, and four “battle games” that link them together.

Edelweiss Division is not a complete game; you’ll need is included in the book plus Fall of Empires and Franz Josef’s Armies to play all 30 scenarios (and the battle games).
