Gallipoli, 1915: Churchill's Greatest Gamble recreates the dramatic opening days of the Gallipoli campaign, where Allied forces attempted a bold amphibious assault against heavily defended Ottoman positions. Players command British, Australian, New Zealand, and French troops as they land on hostile shores, aiming to break through and secure control of the Dardanelles.
Opposing them are experienced Turkish forces, supported by strong leadership and well-prepared defensive positions. The game captures the chaos of the initial landings, the challenges of difficult terrain, and the rapid shift from open manoeuvre to entrenched warfare.
