Description

WWII: The Struggle for Europe simulates the Second World War at a strategic level. It features seasonal turns and a unique combat featuring historical leaders, initiative, the movement of reserves, and alternating movement rather than more the predictable "you move / I move" system. Geographic influences on play includes mountainous, forested, wooded, rough and arid terrain, major rivers; amphibious assaults, air transport, supply, rail movement and more. This game is designed for players who would like to buy their own miniatures, paint and mount them.

The game consists of a beautiful 4’x6’ rolled-up map board of the European Theatre – from the Urals to the Atlantic and from Murmansk to the sands of the Middle-East; as well as files for all of the necessary charts, unit counters and rulebook on a disk. Players will need to print and mount the counters which have all been sized to accommodate miniatures which players can purchase and paint to their taste.

WWII: The Struggle for Europe can be played by 2-7 players, but is ideal as a 4-5 player game (1-2 Western Allies; 2 Axis and a Soviet player). Tabletop space is recommended to be at least 4’x8’ to accommodate the map as well as the battleboards and country charts needed to play the game.
