World at War 89 The Crimean Campaign 1941-42

The Crimean Campaign, 1941- 42 is a strategic-level two-player wargame of low-intermediate complexity covering the fighting across the peninsula that climaxed with the German capture of Sevastopol. The action simulated in the game 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.
