Great War #9 - Bulgarian Summer

Welcome to ATS Great War 9: Bulgarian Summer. This ninth Great War module for CH’s ATS System takes the action to the Eastern Front during World War I.

Following Bulgaria’s entry into the war on the side of the Central Powers on October 14th, 1915, the death knell for Serbia and Romania began to sound. "The Bulgarian Summer" of 1915 saw the Entente attempt to win the hearts and support of Bulgaria. It was all for naught, as the country entered the war aligned with Germany and her allies. And mobilization soon began, followed by a declaration of war against Serbia. Around this time the Germans and Bulgarians had penetrated into Serbia on a front that was 140 kilometers in length and 15 kilometers in depth.

In order to close the 90-kilometer gap between the flanks of the German 11th Army and the Bulgarian 1st Army Mackensen ordered the latter to invade the valley of the river Morava and take Niš and Aleksinac. In accordance with this order the Bulgarians attacked along the entire front of their 1st Army, quickly driving out the Serbian units and taking control of the border area. Following this easy success however the speed of the advance was much reduced due to the bad weather, which turned roads into mud, and a dense fog that sometimes limited visibility to 50 meters.
