	Description Edit \| History

Strategic level recreation of the Second World War. The hex based map covers the entire world, including European and Pacific theatres, with other areas being represented by "off-map" boxes. 1200 counters representing armies, corps, naval and air units allow the entire course of the war to be traced in detail. Historically accurate force setups are an addition for this edition.

WiF FE Sea Zones

V1.0 - A chart I created to help track where resources can travel via sea zones. Write in the number of convoy points, and you can see how much you can move through any particular pipeline.

US Enrty sheet and chit holders

This sheet lists all the US entry options, has the It's War chart, and a place to place the US entry chits into 4 boxes, GE/IT enrty, GE/IT tension, JA Entry and JA Tension. I place the sheet on a clipboard for easy movement and access to the charts. When you need to inspect all your chits to total them you can take the boxes to an area away from the other players to do so. Keeps all chits in the proper entry and tension areas so they never get mixed together.
