About Falling Crescent — from BoardGameGeek:
This swift-paced, operational-level game of the British offensive against the Turks in Palestine in the fall of 1918 challenges you to change the course of history. The addition of strategic and operational cards brings an exciting new feel to this classic model. One player controls the Turkish, German, and Bedouin forces, and the other controls the British, French, and Arab guerrilla forces. A three-player version, commanding the Arabs separately, is also included. As you explore one of history's last great cavalry actions, you will see a hint of things to come in 1939-1940, especially in the use of cavalry and air, when a later war will no longer be fought with horses and canvas biplanes, but with treaded armor and screaming dive bombers. In Falling Crescent, Roger Nord has brought out the flavor of encirclement and surrender, of charging cavalry and elusive Arab guerillas.
