## Description
Get ready to relive the initial clashes of World War I on the Balkan Front with '1914: Serbien Muss Sterbien'! This wargame transports you to the year 1914, focusing on the intense battles fought in and around Serbia. The name, meaning 'Serbia must die' in an Austro-Hungarian jingle, sets the tone for the conflict. 

Featuring a detailed map covering the region from Peterwardein in the north to Niš in the southeast, and Sarajevo to the west, you'll command divisions and brigades on a hexagonal grid board. Each turn represents two to four days, with a 1:500,000 scale, where each hex is approximately 8 km across. The game system is the same as the acclaimed '1914' series from GMT Games. 

The game offers three scenarios: two shorter ones for those who want to get straight to the action, and a Grand Campaign scenario covering the period from the Austro-Hungarian invasion in August to the stalemate in December. The rules are presented in a concise, playtested, and organized 24-page booklet. The goal is to provide an immersive and educational experience, allowing you to learn about the campaign and the geography of the theater of war. It's a must-have for WWI enthusiasts and connoisseurs of complex strategy games. The game has a high language dependency, so be prepared for translation.
