June
6, 1944: You are on the beaches of Normandy, and ahead lies an
uncertain future. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, as you
struggle for control over the cities of Cherbourg, St. Lo, and Caen.
Savage, quick, and decisive, D-Day was the major turning point in the
European theatre, with liberty itself on the line. Designed for 2 or 3
players, Axis & Allies D-Day accurately captures this dramatic
conflict and places you squarely in the middle of the greatest battle
of the 20th century.
Decide
the future of Europe -- and the world -- in this incredible game of military
strategy, courage and cunning! The European Theater of World War II
remains the same, but you control the events. As a world leader, you
must initiate masterful military maneuvers, conjure up clever economic
strategies, and play power politics to lead your nation to victory.
Axis and Allies Europe includes 369 historically accurate soldiers,
ships, airplanes, weapons and more.
Isn't it about time you ruled the world? In this
combat classic, all you need to do is plan carefully, make
decisions quickly and move boldly. The object is to conquer
all 42 territories on the board, thus eliminating your
opponents. You'll use dice and cards to shape the size,
strength and locations of your troops on the gameboard, but
it's up to you to make strategic decisions that'll keep you
on the march. Lead your armies across vast continents;
launch daring attacks against your enemies -- but keep any
eye on your flanks. Your opponents are fighting to capture
your troops and claim your territories! Includes gameboard,
RISK cards, dice, and infantry tokens. For 2 to 6 players.
The classic Naval combat game. Players try to sink
all enemy ships by calling out suspected hiding areas and
keeping track of hits and misses. You're in command with
Battleship! This classic game has been a family favorite for
years.
Behind the castle walls facing you hides an enemy
army. Your mission -- capture their flag! As you advance across the gameboard battlefield, you'll need a sharp memory, strategy and a
little luck to vanquish the enemy and charge the flag! When you're one
space away from an enemy, attack. You and your opponent declare ranks.
The lower-ranking man is captured and taken out of play. Be careful!
There are bombs hidden, too! Includes 40 piece red & blue armies.
Before the
advent of the 286/386 PC computer that allowed a revolution in
war gaming in the 1990s, there were (and still are) a number of
very interesting and very addictive military strategy games.
Some were board games, such as the popular Axis & Allies,
by Avalon Hill. And others were computer games, such as those by
Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI), designed for systems such as
the Amiga, Commodore 64/128 and the Apple IIe/IIc computers.
(The owner of MilitarySpot.com fondly remembers playing SSI's
Battle of the Bulge: Tigers in the Snow on his Apple IIe.)
And of course, there were the popular board games
such as Stratego, Battleship, Risk, and
Tank Battle!
