The struggle between the Russian and Ottoman Empires was already centuries old when war broke out in 1877.  It had its origins in the bitter conflict between Muslims and Christians, Slays and Turks.  The war proved to be a turning point in that it completely altered the balance of power in the east.  In less than 40 years this helped produce the European catastrophe known as the Great War (WW I).  Echoes of these ethnic and religious troubles resound today, as the peoples of Balkans and Near East still fight each other in a struggle for dominance.  The Russo-Turkish War did not just cripple the Ottoman Empire.  It made Russia into the dominant power in the East, and demonstrated the twin impact of modern technology and modern ideology on warfare.

The Russo-Turkish war is a two-player simulation of warfare in the late 19th century.  This is a revision of the System rules presented with Franco-Prussian War (S&T #149), and completely replaces the System rules book found there.  The Specific Rules that apply only to the particular game and cover military and political conditions unique to the specific situation.  Units represent historical leaders and headquarters staffs; corps, division-, and brigade-sized units; and fortifications. Each unit is rated for its combat strength, training class, and movement ability. (Specific Rules) Additionally, headquarters are rated for their Operations capability to enhance movement and combat capabilities, as well as conduct various politically oriented functions.

All units are deployed face down, and are revealed to the enemy only if he conducts reconnaissance or intelligence operations.  Movement is performed by the moving force rolling on one of four March tables (Regular March, Forced March, Railroad, Naval) and applying the result.  Combat is fought between enemy units in individual adjacent hexes; each player draws a Battle Results marker at random.  This gives the number of enemy combat factors eliminated, effects on enemy morale, and special results for cavalry, and siege guns.  The typical size of units are brigades.

Politics are a factor in the game.  Each side has a National Will Index which gives the current level of popular support.  This is affected by combat outcomes and other game events.  Each turn, players have the opportunity to draw Political Events markers, representing various factors affecting the outcome of the conflict.

Great for Travel - Perfect Size and Comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Medium
After trying to find a neck pillow for travel and many returns, I purchased this pillow. I love it! I have a long and thin neck and all the neck pillows did not provide enough support and constantly rotating the neck pillow does not work for me. Switching to this pillow was my answer. It came compressed and I followed the instructions (15 min in the dryer on low with a couple of dryer sheets). The pillow fluffed right up and is super comfortable and supportive. There is no smell. The cover is very soft (a must!). It easily compresses into the provided bag so easy to travel with. It's also the perfect size, small enough to easily travel with, and large enough to provide support. I recommend it.

Soft, Comfortable, and Great for Camping
Color: Grey, Size: L-23 X 16 Inch
I bought this travel pillow for my son’s first camping trip, and I was really impressed. It’s incredibly soft, nice and fluffy, and made a big difference in keeping him comfortable overnight. It was such a hit that I think his dad was a little jealous I didn’t get him one too! It also packed up easily and fit back into its bag without a struggle, which is a huge plus when you’re camping. It held up well during the trip and did exactly what we needed it to do. My only criticism is that it’s a little pricey for what it is. That said, once you feel the quality and comfort, you can understand why. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Comfy and practical
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
The best travel pillow for anyone looking for an actual pillow and not just neck support. We have used it on several trips both on a plane and in the car and it is great for both!
