The Great War in the East, 1914 - 1918
States of SiegeTM #6
Darin Leviloff once again brings the novel States of Siege™ game series (Soviet Dawn and Israeli Independence) to The Great War in a Near Eastern adventure in Ottoman Sunset. The Turkish Empire, long the “Sick Man of Europe,” is surrounded by enemies and in a fight for survival as French, Russian, British and Commonwealth forces converge, joined by the Arab Revolt. The ancient capital of Constantinople is under threat from all directions, and only a cunning leader can help the Ottoman Empire endure and survive.
As the headlines unfold, you draw upon military resources and rely on your German and Austro-Hungarian allies to help you. Threats by land and sea are faced, and international politics is often at the forefront of events.
Can you save the Ottoman Empire? Can you secure the Dardanelles from Allied invasion? Will the Arab Revolt and Lawrence of Arabia prove your undoing, or can German aid and distant victories help you prevail? Play Ottoman Sunset and see!
