A recent trip to Turkey ignited my interest in the struggle there in the early 1920s. I recall a board game about that fight with a title like New Byzantium or something similar. On e player is Ataturk and the other is the various Greek, Italian, French, Armenian factions. But I can't find it at the moment. It's not Worthington Games or Avalanche games. Any one know about this game and who makes it? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the link – I learned something new about 20th century European history, always satsifying. |

Any suggestions as for a readable book on the subject? |

The short answer: in English, no. See: TMP link Trawling around Wikipedia shows it to have been a nasty war.
Smyrna/Izmir was burned at the end, many slain, raped, etc. |
