Last Laurels at Limanowa (LLL) simulates Austria-Hungary's last independent victory against the Russian Empire in World War I. In November 1914, Russia's 3rd Army pressed on Krakow, the centre of Austria Poland, while the Russian 8th Army threatened to break through the Carpathian passes into Hungary. Desperate to relieve the pressure, Franz Conrad von Hotzendorf, Chief of the General Staff for Austria-Hungary, gambled on a counter attack about 25 miles southwest of Krakow to launch the Battle of Limanowa that December.

In the game, players command individual companies formed into battalions or regiments. They must pay close attention to command and control on a battlefield where fire trumps movement. But, troop density was lower in the East, so mobility persists, cavalry roam free, and trenches are rare. This is the other often overlooked side of WWI.

LLL is the second volume in the Red Poppies Campaign (RPC) system for gaming World War I battles. Ownership of volume one, The Battles for Ypres, is NOT required to play LLL; everything you need to play LLL is in the box. LLL offers the same rules as The Battles for Ypres except that section 12, the Ypres scenarios and campaigns, is intentionally left blank while section 13, the Limanowa scenarios and campaigns, has been added.
