Pursuit of Glory: The Great War in the Near East is a sequel to the award-winning Paths of Glory, placing you in control of the British/Russian alliance or the Ottoman Empire during World War I. With historical events like Gallipoli, the Arab Revolt, and the Russian Revolution, you take on the roles of iconic figures such as Churchill and Lawrence of Arabia. The game spans geographically from India to the Balkans, and from the Black Sea to the Suez Canal, offering a rich experience in strategy and narrative. With a hand of 7 cards, you decide how to use each one: for historical events, command points, or resources. Your decisions will shape the course of the war, whether invading Serbia, capturing strategic ports, or protecting vital resources like Mesopotamian oil. The tension is constant, with every move potentially leading to total victory or defeat.
