Description

Southern Front: Race for the Turkish Straits is a gripping board game that drops you into the midst of a hypothetical war between Bulgaria, Romania, and the Soviet Union against Greece, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. With a unique blend of mobile warfare and complex politics, this game is sure to challenge even the most seasoned players. The mountainous terrain and lack of troops on both sides make for a thrilling campaign, where special units like airmobile and amphibious troops can outflank and outmaneuver their opponents. As you navigate the tangled web of Balkan politics, you'll need to make tough decisions about alliances and reinforcements. Will Romania stay loyal to the Pact, or will they remain neutral? Can Greece and Turkey put aside their differences to work together against a common enemy? With the option to combine this game with The Third World War: Battle for Germany, you'll need to think strategically about where to allocate your resources and how to turn the tide of the war in your favor.
