This game puts you in the driver's seat of the British\/Russian alliance or the Ottoman Empire during World War One. Gallipoli, holy war, mutiny, and the Russian Revolution await. Walk in the shoes of men such as Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia, Enver, and Falkenhayn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe action stretches from India to the Balkans, from the Black Sea to Suez.

You must decide whether to use each card for its historic event, command points, or resources. You must then commit your forces to a variety of objectives: the Turkish-Russian frontier in Caucasia, the violation of neutral Persia, oil-rich Mesopotamia, the Suez Canal, the Balkans and its vital railroads. You must judge when it is right to invade Serbia or launch a new naval invasion (perhaps on the inset map representing Gallipoli).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the British, you must hold on while your Russian allies break through the Turkish lines in Caucasia and you bring your forces to bear through invasion and a gradual build-up of imperial might. As the Turks, your objective is to gain complete victory early, uniting your strength with Germany and crippling the British Empire in Egypt and India or to persevere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40195941892151,"sku":"GMT2313","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/9195\/2951\/files\/pic394801.jpg?v=1689196905","url":"https:\/\/isleofgamesaz.com\/products\/pursuitofglory-thegreatwarintheneareast","provider":"Isle of Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
