RussoGeorgian War
The Georgian David vs the Russian Goliath The Russo-Georgian War of 2008 is a simulation game covering the military action during the conflict from August 8¸ 2008 through August 12¸ 2008. This involved the Republic of Georgia and the Russian Federation which is supporting the two breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The fighting began in the Ossetia (the primary Georgian target) and spread to all of Georgia and Abkhazia. At first glance this seems like a fight between David and Goliath -- the vast RUssian military against a state with onkly about 20¸000 active duty personnel in its military and only 7 combat jets -- but closer examination reveals it was a somewhat stiffer competition with several points of interest. It is with this thought the this game was inspired. This game also includes a major variant covering the earlier near-war of 2004 Components: 12 page Rules 11x29 Map 176 full color single-sided 5-8 counters 3 setup charts¸ 3 reference charts Complexity: Medium Solitaire Suitability: Average Time to Play: 2-3 hours Map Scale: 12 miles per hex Unit Size: Battalions Turn Length: 12 hours
