Fighting takes place on beaches, in mountains, in an industrial city and in the air overhead, with the units involved being mostly of battalion or company size (roughly 100 men per strength point), with naval units representing one ship or two boats, and air units each representing ten aircraft.\n\nThere are some unusual concepts in the game system, as well as a considerable amount of detail.\n\nGame Scale:\nTurn: Impulses = 4-5 hours, 5-6 impulses per day\nHex: 880 yards \/ 804 meters\nUnits: Company to Regiment\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 22 x 34\" full-color mapsheet\nTwo dual-side printed countersheets (1 combat, 1 markers - 600 1\/2\" counters)\nOne 40-page Black Sea - Black Death rules booklet\nTwo Player Aid cards (in rules booklet)\nOne 4-page Charts \u0026amp; Tables booklet (in rule booklet)\nTwo 6-sided dice\n\nPlayers: 1 or more\nPlaying Time: 2-20 hours\nComplexity: Medium\nSolitaire Suitability: Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.92 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jack Radey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"People's War Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924842578136,"sku":"SB-1C6EF95D567F-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/ts8vm8bxmdm2cbvot5krnp0953q3.jpg?v=1785457470","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/black-sea-black-death","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
