Crimean War (1998)

About this game

French, Brits, Turks, Sardinians and sundry extras versus the Russian Empire. Leaders and cavalry. Three different CRTs (Skirmish, Assault & Manuever). Limited supply and command points constrict operations. Three scenarios: To Balaclava, The Second Season, and a full Campaign scenario.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
