A game of 200,000 men on 80km front - Bregalnitza 1913
One of the climactic battles of the Balkan Wars saw roughly 100,000 Bulgarians attack a similar number of Serbs around Bregalnitza in June/July 1913. The battle was fought on an 80km front and lasted a week. Konstantinos Travlos has risen to the challenge and written a scenario to make it possible to fight this battle in a short evening on an 8'x4' table using the BBB rules. Yesterday we gave it its first playtest.
