Red Poppies Campaigns: Volume 2 – Last Laurels at Limanowa

Red Poppies Campaigns: Volume 2 – Last Laurels at Limanowa is a World War I tactical wargame covering Austria-Hungary’s 1914 counterattack near Limanowa.

Part of the Red Poppies Campaigns system, the game focuses on interactive company-scale combat, with 10-minute turns and 200-yard hexes. Players maneuver infantry companies, cavalry squadrons, and supporting formations across the rugged terrain of the Carpathian foothills.

The battle was Austria-Hungary’s last independent victory against Russia, bought at a heavy cost. The game captures that desperate balance: aggressive maneuver, local counterattacks, and the strain of committing elite troops in a campaign where success could still feel like exhaustion.

This volume is fully standalone and does not require ownership of Red Poppies Campaigns: The Battles for Ypres. It is well suited to players who enjoy detailed tactical World War I battles with strong scenario variety and high solitaire suitability.

Contents include: one 22” x 34” map, two sheets of 5/8” counters, one rule and scenario book, two player reference cards, two dice, and a box with lid.
