Compass Games Falling Crescent: The British Offensive: Sept - Oct 1918<br><br>Falling Crescent is an operational-level board game that puts you in command during the pivotal British offensive of September-October 1918 against the Turks in Palestine. One player controls the Turkish, German, and Bedouin forces, while the other commands the British, French, and Arab guerilla forces. A three-player version, with the Arabs commanded separately, is also included. After centuries of Ottoman rule, Palestine hangs in the balance as British forces and Arab rebels threaten to topple the Crescent flag forever. The game is a true test of skill - history itself can be rewritten! Designer Roger Nord brings the flavor of encirclement, charging cavalry, and elusive Arab guerrilla tactics to life through strategic and operational cards that add a fresh dimension to the classic wargame model. Complexity is rated Medium, with each turn representing 2 days and each map hex covering 2.3 miles. Supports 2 to 4 players, with scenarios lasting 2 to 6 hours. Recommended for ages 18 and up. Not intended for children under 3 years of age.
