Pursuit of Glory

A card-driven simulation of World War I operations across the Near East, from the Balkans and Gallipoli to Mesopotamia, Persia, the Caucasus, Egypt and India. Players direct either the British/Russian alliance or the Ottoman/German side, using a seven-card hand each turn to trigger historic events, generate command points, or supply resources. Units move, fight, and commit to objectives such as capturing ports, securing oil fields, holding or breaching fronts, and conducting naval invasions on the Gallipoli inset map. Political and irregular factors—mutiny, revolution, uprisings and diplomatic alignments—affect strategy and campaign options as players balance timing, logistics and regional priorities.
