I ran across this description of a battle in the rules of an old game.
It has what seem to me to be factual errors. I cannot find any place named "Lvidsgov" near the Vistula River. As well, the unit identified seems incorrect because the 1st Cavalry Division of the German Army in 1915 was in Courland, not near the Vistula.Meeting Engagement, Lvidsgov (April 4th, 1915)
After the Germans failed to take Warsaw in the winter of 1914, they again tried in the spring of 1915. The German 1st Cavalry Division advanced eastwards over the Vistula. Its vanguard was met by a detachment from the II Caucasian Corps. The battle soon turned in the Germans' favor, and they held the strategic crossroads of Lvidsgov, although they suffered heavy losses.
But it is difficult for me to dismiss as completely wrong, because the author of these rules is well known: David Isby. Hard to imagine he got that clash so wrong.
Does the description of the battle in April 1915, or the location name ring a bell?
Thanks.
Cheers
