2WW: The War in Europe (2012)

About this game

2WW: The War in Europe is a grand-strategic game utilizing armies or army groups, air forces, and fleets. The game covers the entire conflict in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. There are two players or sides in the game. The Axis controls Germany, Italy, and all friendly minor countries. The Allied player controls France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States when it enters the conflict. Small in size, big in scope, 2WW: The War in Europe is playable in an evening, yet has enough depth to satisfy most grognards. From the war in the desert, to the battle in the Atlantic, it's all here.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 3.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
