“The Crimean landscapes are remarkably unique. The resort cities form amphitheaters at the foot of mountains, on the shores of tranquil, cozy bays. The evergreen parks, the quaint summits with glistening snowcaps, the white-stone sanitarium buildings, the blue of the sea expanses, create a splendid harmony of colors.”
— A. Shuster, Krym (Kiev: Ministerstva Kulturi U.R.S.R., 1961), p. 6; quoted by Brian Glyn Williams, The Crimean Tatars (Oxford, 2016), p. 115

Overview

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.
