1915 – While the fronts are established everywhere else, the British decide to launch an operation in the Dardanelles. The resulting Battle of Gallipoli will highlight the courage of the soldiers on both sides and will result in terrible disappointment on the Allied side.

Assault on Gallipoli is a game that simulates the landing of ANZAC units on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. Players will relive the intense struggle to conquer the strategic heights, featuring ANZAC soldiers facing a determined Turkish defense.

One player commands the Entente forces, made up primarily of Australian and New Zealand soldiers, but also including British, Maori, Gurkha, and Sikh soldiers. The other player, for his part, is at the head of the Turkish defenders, reinforced by Syrian conscripts and German officers.
