Following the German success with their Gorlice–Tarnów offensive, Hans von Seeckt proposed that August von Mackensen's Eleventh Army should advance north towards Brest-Litovsk, with their flanks shielded by the rivers Vistula and Bug.
This would be the start of The Great Retreat, strategic retreat and evacuation on the Eastern Front. The Russians gave up the salient in Galicia and the Polish Congress Kingdom (called the Vistula Land by the Russian occupiers).
In-game Event
Starting today until July 5th, you can play our latest campaign.All casualties in Frontlines- & Maneuver game modes in Verdun and Tannenberg will be added to the total losses. The winning side will be whoever suffers the least amount of killed and wounded soldiers. Too many First World War battles essentially became meat grinders (or were even conceived as such from the start) and so it is for our campaigns.
