So why wargame the Crimean War?
Colorful uniforms, organizations and tactics which are comfortably familiar to the Napoleonic wargamer, with just a hint of the technological advances to come. All this, and the chance to fight alongside different allies and to take on the might of Russia in the process.
So it's not quite Napoleonics, neither is it the American Civil War. The Crimean War is its own conflict, and one that can be almost as far-reaching as the wargamer requires.
With an increasing number of figures and rulesets becoming available, perhaps the Crimean War could become 'the next big thing' in the world of wargames…
Includes historical background, wargaming guidelines, full-color campaign maps, and details of the forces that participated.
