Next up: The Siege of Constantinople (SPI, 1978), initial set up here. You can see how thinly spread the Byzantines and their allies are along the walls. Constantine XI and his guards are defending a breach in Blachernae, while Giustiniani and his Genoese are on another breach in the Mesoteichion.
Over the years I've acquired a number of strategy board games related to the Ottoman Empire, but have never played any of them. I'm thinking about changing that this year, playing through one game a month and posting about how each one does at modeling history.
The runner-up for the Best Boardgames Chronicle Post of 2025 was interview about Seljuk: Byzantium Besieged, 1068-1071. Check out this insightful content!
