Heroic cavalry charges, brutal sieges and catastrophic battlefield decisions have ensured the Crimean War remains one of the nineteenth century’s most memorable conflicts, forever associated with the legendary Charge of the Light Brigade.
Fought between Russia and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, Britain, France and Sardinia, the campaign centred on the Crimean Peninsula and the strategic port of Sevastopol. While remembered for famous acts of courage, the war also exposed severe failures in leadership, logistics and military planning.
Written by Pete Brown, this supplement for Black Powder explores the entire Crimean campaign through detailed historical background, army organisations, uniform guides and special rules tailored to the larger-than-life commanders who led the armies into battle.
Alongside extensive campaign information, the book includes a wide selection of historical scenarios recreating major battles and smaller engagements, including the infamous cavalry action at Balaklava.
The supplement captures both the spectacle and tragedy of the campaign, where extraordinary bravery often stood in stark contrast to disastrous military decisions and harsh battlefield conditions.
From artillery duels and stubborn infantry lines to desperate cavalry assaults across open ground, this book brings the Crimean War vividly to life for tabletop commanders.
