Crimea (WWII Game)
''Crimea'' is a board wargame published by Excalibre Games in 1977 that simulates the Crimean Campaign during World War II. Background In the summer of 1941, during Germany's surprise invasion of the Soviet Union, Axis forces attempted to invade the Crimean Peninsula and take Sevastopol, but were stopped by stiff Soviet resistance. The subsequent campaign would take eight months and result in thousands of casualties on both sides. Description ''Crimea'' is a two-player board wargame where one player controls the Axis invaders and the other player controls the Soviet defenders. With only six pages of rules and 100 counters, the game has been characterized as "a short, simple treatment." Gameplay The game uses an alternating "I Go, You Go" system where one player moves and attacks, then the other player moves and attacks. This completes one game turn. Axis units are subject to step-reduction (each unit takes several "hits" before it is eliminated), but Soviet units are elimin ...

The Dawn Of Modern Warfare
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.

History Of Crimea
The recorded history of the Crimean Peninsula, historically known as ''Tauris'', ''Taurica'' ( gr, Ταυρική or Ταυρικά), and the ''Tauric Chersonese'' ( gr, Χερσόνησος Ταυρική, "Tauric Peninsula"), begins around the 5th century BCE when several Greek colonies were established along its coast, the most important of which was Chersonesos near modern day Sevastopol, with Scythians and Tauri in the hinterland to the north. The southern coast gradually consolidated into the Bosporan Kingdom which was annexed by Pontus and then became a client kingdom of Rome (63 BCE – 341 AD). The south coast remained Greek in culture for almost two thousand years including under Roman successor states, the Byzantine Empire (341 AD – 1204 AD), the Empire of Trebizond (1204 AD – 1461 AD), and the independent Principality of Theodoro (ended 1475 AD). In the 13th century, some Crimean port cities were controlled by the Venetians and by the Genovese, but the interior w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
