Barbarossa: Crimea is Vance von Borries’ sixth epic game in his award winning series of East Front games. This is a two-player operational level game depicting the battles in the Crimean peninsula of the Soviet Union during 1941 and 1942. Beginning in mid-October 1941 and ending in January 1942, it completes the year 1941 in this series of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. And it includes 1942 scenarios of the continued fighting in Crimea until the historical fall of the great Soviet naval fortress Sevastopol in July 1942.
Barbarossa: Crimea includes several special features not found with all EFS games. Since the game revolves around Sevastopol, a special inset map to depict in detail the fighting at that important naval fortress is included. Much gaming will directly involve the inset, so there are new streamlined rules dealing with an inset map. The naval rules are also streamlined, effectively rebuilding them. In Crimea, the Soviets used amphibious operations to move battle lines forward. If an amphibious operation is not going well, the Soviets could declare an Evacuation. At Sevastopol the German player will be using his super-heavy artillery, including the world’s largest artillery piece, Dora, historically seen in the final game scenario. The design notes include an essay on these wonder-weapons.
