What are my options, to play a game centered around the Crimean War?

I *think* they may have been a scenario or two in Age of Rifles, but it's been so long I'm not sure.

That's actually something you can reach in PON, before you die of old age.  :P

There are indeed a couple of scenarios from Age of Rifles.  If you absolutley positively MUST have this game, I can probably lend you my copy (or at least dropbox it to you).  PM or post here if you wish...
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

Thanks for the offer, I have the original Age of Rifles CD, and have fiddled with it before to play out the Isandlwana scenario - so I'll check back with Age of Rifles.

It's a real shame there are no modern chit based games based around the Victorian era. I'd even settle for a Tiller game on the subject, despite the dated art and engine -  that's how desperate I am! ;)

I suppose there might be something in Advanced Tactics user scenarios as well.

There are a couple of scenarios for TOAW over at Rugged Defense (under Pre World War I), but it looks like they're for the TOAW-COW version.  I think they can be converted to TOAWIII (open the scenario in the TOAWIII editor and save before trying to play).

Thanks for that Steve, I'll give them a look over and see if I can convert them to be used in TOAWIII!
