This is the episode four of our thrilling 'End of Empire' series, where we're delving into 'The British Way: Counterinsurgency at the End of Empire', an immersive wargame exploring British counterinsurgency campaigns during the twilight of their empire. In this climactic episode, we're heading to Cyprus, the final battleground in this epic historical saga.
Join me and game developer Joe Dewhurst as we once again lock horns in this last stand, with the campaign's ultimate victor still hanging in the balance. Will Joe’s cunning strategies win the day, or will my tactical prowess tip the scales in my favor? With the series score teetering, the Cyprus conflict will prove decisive!
Adding an extra layer of intrigue to this episode, we're honored to be joined by Stephen Rangazas, the brilliant designer behind 'The British Way'. Stephen will be on hand to share insights and elaborate on the game's mechanics and the historical context.
As we manoeuver our way through the complexities of the Cyprus Emergency, expect tension, rivalry, and a deep dive into an often overlooked chapter of history. Cyprus, a jewel in the Eastern Mediterranean, was a contentious stage where Greek and Turkish Cypriots, British colonials, and metropolitan interests all intersected, making for a fascinating and intricate conflict that promises an engaging gaming experience.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a COIN series veteran, or someone who enjoys the cut and thrust of strategic gameplay, you'll find much to savour in this episode. And remember, every move counts as the end of Empire looms!
