- Seeing Red (new from High Flying Dice Games)
Seeing Red: The Raid on Kronstadt Harbor, August 18. 1919. A solitaire game on the British Royal Navy’s raid on the Kronstadt naval base during the Russian Revolution. Even before the armistice with Germany ended the fighting along the Western Front in WWI, British, French and US forces were deployed to attack Soviet controlled Russia to undermine and perhaps overthrow the Communists from power in Russia. One of the more daring Allied attacks occurred when a British flotilla of Coastal Motor Boats (CMB) was dispatched to raid the Soviet occupied naval base of Kronstadt. The raiders were supported by aircraft launched by the world’s first aircraft carrier, HMS Vindictive, making this one of the first combined air/sea attacks in military history. [Forum]
