Krim: The War in the Crimea 1941-42

KRIM: The War in the Crimea 1941-42 is an operational/strategic simulation of the German 11th Army’s operations in the Crimean Peninsula from late October 1941 through 4 July 1942.

Realistic battle depictionThe German player steps into the highly-polished boots of Gen. Erich von Manstein, and attempts to win the game by sweeping the entire peninsula of Soviets. The Soviet player takes the role of the Soviet front commander(s) in the Crimea area, and is generally on the defensive (though often able to make telling counter-strikes), and must attempt to thwart his enemy’s plans and hold out longer than happened historically.


A challenging strategic problemBe warned this is not an easy game to win as the Germans. The Soviet defender will dig in and make you fight to take the Crimea. You will need to make the most of your unit's abilities and bring overwhelming odds to critical points on the battlefield.

Game Scale: Each hex on the map equals approximately 7.5 miles/ 12 kilometers from side to side.
