Greetings all. Looking for any decent Crimean War games for the PC. I’m kind of desperate. I’ll take old games or even Crimean scenarios for older existing PC games. I’ll play as any nation with involved, I’m not picky. Anything out there?

Not really sure, but maybe the 'Victoria' series games cover that? I can't remember any games that are based solely on the Crimea.

Maybe the old SSI Age of Rifles had some Crimean scenarios?
It's on GOG now.

Nice, thank you Bawb and Bes. A sorely neglected war in PC gaming :(

You beat me to it. AOR was the first thing I thought of.
