WORLD AT WAR # 89: The Crimean Campaign 1941-1942 (Wargame)

1-956089

Strategic level two-player wargame (with strong operational undertones) of low-intermediate complexity covering the fighting across the peninsula that climaxed with the German capture of Sevastopol. The game's action took place historically between 28 October 1941 and 4 July 1942. The first date marks the German entry into the Crimea via the Perekop Isthmus, while the second marks the end of organized Soviet resistance across the whole peninsula.

Those nine calendar months are divided into chronologically varied and unequal numbers of turns. That approach allows for the convenient simulation of the ebbs and flows in the action that took place due to bad weather and logistical and command-control constraints.

Magazine articles include Japan's Indian Ocean Raid, Strategic Heavy Lift, and Fortress Battle 1944.

Components: 22x34 inch map, 228 9/16-inch die-cut counters, and magazine.
