September, 1939:
The greatest war in history is about to erupt. The German Army is
poised on the borders of Poland, about to attack. England and France have pledged to go to war in defense of Poland. Take control of one of the major or minor powers of the world, and reght World War II in your own way, on the huge 4 foot by 8 foot map of the World in 1939. Negotiate alliances, plan your strategy as you combat the forces of Germany, Japan, and Italy as they try to conquer the World. Similar to Axis and Allies, though with more countries involved, the game uses a detailed combat system to as
accurately as possible simulate World War II.
