Wars Across The World: Switzerland 1937

About the game

A closer look.

Switzerland 1937 is the simulation of a fictive civil war in Switzerland, based on the unfinished and unpublished novel 'Eternal War'.§§It's the history of a Europe that never could recover from World War One and the Great Depression. In most European countries, conditions prevailing are tantamount to civil war. Radicalism, decline of democratic values and violent riots are ordinary in many countries. Encouraged by Franco's rebellion in Spain, the anti-democratic, conservative-catholic 'Eidgenössischer Bund' starts an uprising to transform Switzerland into a corporative-autocratic state. Supported by various right-wing conservative factions, the Rebels have to seize power in Switzerland. The Government must maintain control over the important cities and economical centers, in order to defeat the insurgents. Switzerland 1937 is a campaign lasting 16 turns each representing a few days between January and March, 1937. It opposes the Government and the Rebels over Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The Government's initial situation is superior in strategic and economic views, but their only combat ready units consist of decentralized, poorly equipped policemen. They must hold the line until the regular army can be mobilized. The Rebels have powerful and motivated irregulars, but no supply and no financial backing. They have to seize control of important economic centers to continue their fight.
