WARGAME WITH DIE-CUT COUNTERS : The Conquest of Hungary 1526

The game The Conquest of Hungary, 1526 is part of the Gold & Steel series([1]). It simulates, at the strategic and tactical levels, the campaign led by Suleiman the Magnificent and his Ottoman army that led to the conquest of the Kingdom of Hungary at the end of the Battle of Mohàcs in 1526.

One player plays the role of the Kingdom of Hungary and its allies (Transylvania/Walachia, Croatia, Moldova, Poland-Lithuania, Germany, Bohemia), the other player plays the Ottoman Empire and its allies (Serbia, Bosnia, Crimean Khanate).

The game pits the Ottoman camp against the Hungarian camp. A combatant counter represents 500 to 2,000 infantrymen or cavalrymen on the front and half as many on the back. An artillery counter represents around a hundred cannons of various types and calibres. A turn lasts two weeks and a game is played over ten turns.

• Game turn: 2 weeks
