David's Wiki

Trieste 1945 is a solo postcard game attempts to capture a weird moment at the close of WW2 when the Germans almost allied with the Allies to fight the Yugoslavs. The player's aim, as Commander NZ, is to take as many German POWs to safety as possible without incurring the wrath of Tito's Yugoslav forces, and before their superiors deem the situation too dangerous for them to continue to operate in the city.
