* Wargame with die-cut counters: Molodi 1572. Two scenarios are offered, one in 1571, the other in 1572. The rules are those of the Gold and Steel series. After the final throes of the Hundred Years' War, the Italian Wars, the conquest of America, and the Ottoman Wars, this new game allows you to explore another arena of conflict: the Russian steppes. Armies are largely composed of cavalry and mounted archers, but the firepower lies with the Russians (Streltsy and Cossacks). Special rules simulate certain aspects of warfare among the descendants of the Mongol conquerors (captive raids, pillaging, etc.). Some events take into account the burning of Moscow, one of the very first maskirovska operations in Russian military history. The Russian army must crush the invaders, and the Crimean Khan must establish himself in Moscow to rule the Russian lands.
A game turn = a month; A counter = 250-500 infantry, 1500-2000 cavalry, 50 cannons; Complexity = 6/10; Solitaire game = 5/10; Duration of the game = 2-3 hours
