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!
