War in Europe is not just for collectors anymore. This second edition version is for you, the strategy game lover who wants to fight "The Big One" with The Big One of gaming.War in Europe: it's not just for collectors anymore.One of the first true MONSTER games, but one people actually played. When Jim Dunnigan said he was going to make a game with 4000 counters and nine maps that when placed together cover an area of 38.5 ft2 (3.6 m2), that would take at least 180 hours to finish, they said 'but Jim, War in the East only had a thousand counters, you're mad, MAD!'Well now who's crazy? Don't answer that.War in Europe is the largest single strategy game ever professionally published. This update of the revered SPI "monster" game is a simulation of World War II at the division/corps level. There are nine 22" x 34" map sections covering an area from the North Cape of Norway to the deserts of Libya and the Middle East and from the British Isles to the city of Stalingrad. Each hex represents 33 kilometers of ground and each Game Turn represents one week of actual time.War in Europe's most striking feature is the map. Over 25 countries are delineated with their industrial and resource centers, major and minor ports, significant cities, rivers and other fascinating geographic features. All of this has been beautifully rendered using satellite photography and state of the art graphic design techniques.The rules have been painstakingly updated and many new optional rules and variants are featured along with carefully revised charts and tables. In addition to War in Europe's original 3600 die-cut counters, representing the armed forces of over 20 nations, there are 480 new counters in this updated edition (optional units that might have been assembled to allow exploration of some historical "what ifs?") . You'll be campaigning with artillery units for all sides, German motorized units, U.S. Marines, additional Soviet Guard Tank and Mechanized units, and more French armored should you decide to build them using the game's fascinating production system.Although War in Europe is a big game, its complexity is not high. It can easily be played solitaire, but is most enjoyable with two or three players or teams. War in Europe also features numerous Campaign Scenarios that pick up play at historic watersheds like D-Day or the start of Barbarossa. There are even more abbreviated games in the form of limited historical scenarios using just one to four maps.
