Pe Tang 1900

Pe Tang 1900 is a solitaire wargame depicting the 57 day siege of the Catholic Cathedral in Peking by the Boxer rebels in 1900. The Cathedral, packed with fleeing Catholic Chinese, was defended by 12 Italian sailors under the command of Sottotenente di Vascello Angelo Olivieri and about 40 French soldiers under the command of the Enseigne de Vaisseau Paul Henry. Their courage and resilience managed to save many lives until the relief of the Cathedral by Japanese soldiers on August 16th, 1900. The player’s mission is to defend the Cathedral and resist up to the end of turn 12, when the relief column will arrive.
