The Eastern War 1853-1856: Oltenița 1853 (1) – Scenario D01

The battle of Oltenița. 4 November 1853. The battle of Oltenița was first, relatively significant, battle of the Crimean War at Danubian theater. A small part of Omer Pasha’s troops crossed the Danube near Tortukai. Three days later, the Russian troops of General P.A. Dannenberg attacked the Turks who had fortified themselves in the Olteniza stone quarantine. The scenario is designed for 9 Rounds, but since the Russian commander, having decided that in case of final success the quarantine could not be maintained, ordered a retreat, the number of Rounds can be increased to 11 (at the discretion of the players). —description from the publisher
