To avoid the threat of another Great War, the major powers of the West have early this morning decided among themselves that Germany shall be given our border areas, the so called Sudenten land, including much of our nation's industry.

I have therefore ordered General Krejci to complete the mobilization of our armed forces and proceed with the defence of our great republic on the assumption that we shall stand alone !

Historically Czechoslovakia’s President Benes accepted the terms of the 1938 Munich Agreement and handed over the Sudenten zones and with it the republic’s best hope of remaining independent. This game gives the players the opportunity to fight out this key 'what if' campaign using an adapted version of the Fall of France system.

The political rules allow for the strong possibly of initiating a regional war as neighbouring countries are dragged into the conflict. Numerous optional rules are also included to allow players to customise play to players tastes.

Allenby's Blitzkrieg is a 2 player Operational level board-wargame on the last great horse cavalry campaign in history. The game covers the first 48 hours of the offensive launched by General Edmund Allenby's army on the 19th September 1918 in northern Palestine (now Israel).

The battle commenced just before dawn on the 19th after a brilliant deception operation that ensured that the Turks were out of place. It pitted a British army consisting mostly of Indian and Australian troops against the Ottoman Turks.

The speed at which the British army's mounted units moved and the distances they covered during the 48 hours and immediately afterwards, exceeded the best efforts of the Germans in any of their World War 2 "Blitzkriegs."
