World War II: European Theater of Operations

A grand-strategy simulation of the European and Middle Eastern campaigns from 1939–1945, including shorter scenarios for the 1939 Polish, 1940 French, and the invasion of the Soviet Union. Players manage national resources, production, and army group command while conducting armored, air, naval, and strategic operations on a month-by-month scale. Units are represented by counters on large hex maps; play supports two players or multiple allied partners and includes optional political rules to reflect wartime diplomacy. Game time ranges widely depending on scenario and player count, from a few hours to a multi-session campaign.
