We do a first look and overview of the new 2nd Edition of Assault on Gallipoli, the 2-player wargame (board game) from Hexasim Games and designed by Kieran Oakley and Russell Lowke. In this wargame, you take charge of either the ANZAC forces or the Turkish forces and replay the battles surrounding the Entente landing on the west side of the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915, at the height of World War 1.

Assault on Gallipoli 2nd Edition Overview & First Look | Hexasim Games | World War 1 Boardgame

[Vatanevlad]

“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives …You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

For those intending to play this game I recommend watching the Australian film “Gallipoli” if you haven’t already. The Gallipoli campaign helped to establish a national identity for Australia & New Zealand. Seven Victoria Crosses were awarded for actions at Lone Pine. The charge at the Neck, so tragic. Hope this game helps in educating those not familiar with the ANZAC legend. Apologise for my rant.

Great info. My grandfather fought at Gallipoli as a sapper (not the initial landings) so this has definitely piqued my interest.

What a stunning looking map! Love the variety of those action cards too!

I appreciate that you highlighted the 10th Btn SA while scanning through the counter sheets. Not sure if that was intentional, but it’s a noteworthy choice—on the first day at Gallipoli, the 10th achieved the deepest inland penetration of any ANZAC forces. Later on the Western Front, they earned the nickname ‘the terrible 10th, ’ revered for the fear they instilled in the enemy and their unruliness towards British officers.

I like the component spread, trying something new. =)

Did I do a no-no when I posted about Stuka Joe’s replay earlier? If so, I apologize.

Interesting approach - just one landing, instead of the whole campaign. I like it. The game looks interesting, and you know my weakness for Great war games. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very expensive game, however, so I'm thinking this won't be at the top of my wish list, but it certainly would be on my shelf if money were more available.
As usual, your showing of a game has refocused my attention! Well done video, again as usual.
Also: just out of curiosity, do you ever stream? Either here or on Twitch? I'd deffo make an effort to watch, if you did. (I'm sure it's easier said than done LOL)

This game is too expensive, 79 USD+20 USD shipping! 😒Do you know if they will sell it in the U.S. at a cheaper rate?
