Axis & Allies: Europe
The Game of Military Strategy, Courage, and Cunning
It is the spring of 1941. Germany stands poised to launch the largest
invasion in history, an all-out attack on the Soviet Union. Most
of Europe already lies under Hitler's yoke. Great Britain, reliant
on its overseas empire, is slowly strangling in the web of German
u-boats prowling the seas. And the United States, despite its tremendous
industrial might, is tragically unprepared for war.
Axis and Allies: Europe pits you and your opponents in the massive
struggle of World War 2 in Europe, the Atlantic, and across North
Africa and the Middle East. But this battle isn't just about armaments.
As a world leader, you must initiate masterful military maneuvers,
conjure up clever economic strategies, and play power politics to
lead your nation to victory.
Axis and Allies: Europe adds new pieces (artillery and destroyers),
new economic warfare rules (convoys, Middle Eastern oil fields,
and expanded strategic bombing), and a more detailed European theater.
Plus, all of the over 350 plastic playing pieces are country-specific:
you get P-38s, Stukas, Spitfires, Shermans, Panthers, and T-34s,
not just generic tanks and planes!
