	Description Edit \| History

The designers of Europe Engulfed bring the Asian Theater to your gaming table.

In Asia Engulfed, the Naval Units are also represented by wooden blocks, and there are two types of aircraft counters, Land-Based Air (LBA) and Carrier-Based Air (CBA), each with its own advantages.

The game links with Europe Engulfed, and special rules are included in the Play Book for those wanting to game both Theaters together.

Enjoy the game!

Homemade stickers to Asia Engulfed

I really dislike oryginal, ugly nato symbols on my blocks, so I made my own version. You can see the effect on some pictures I added in gallery. I love it - and it's your choice, if you use orignal or those ones. I hope, you'll enjoy it. Just print it as it is. You can paste those stickers on orginal ones - if you will change your mind, you always can remove them to receive the orginal one. P.S. Mainly, I used graphics from Combat Commander Game.
