Join me for another One’s a Crowd solo play session, this time featuring Operation Bøllebank, the latest wargame from designer Nicola Saggini. In this stream, I’ll be learning and playing the game with Nicola himself, as we dive into this tense solitaire simulation of one of the most remarkable armored engagements of the Bosnian War.
Operation Bøllebank puts players in command of a UN Danish armored task force on the night of April 29-30, 1994, as they navigate hostile terrain, restrictive Rules of Engagement, and a determined opposition of Bosnian-Serb forces. With mission success relying on careful movement, effective communication, and political considerations, this game challenges players to think beyond firepower and embrace the complexities of modern peacekeeping operations.
We’ll discuss the game’s design, historical background, and unique mechanics, including its order relay system, mission-based scoring, and immersive 1990s military aesthetic. Tune in for a deep dive into this fascinating game and see if I can complete the mission while staying within the UN mandate!
