	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.
