History of the Second World War: Part 2 – The Overrunning of the West 1985

About the Game

Planned to be a nine-part series of games covering all of WWII based on the B.H. Liddell Hart book of the same name. This is a grand strategic hex and counter turn-based WWII wargame. Hexes are 175km, a turn is one month. Combat is by dice on CRT and based on both attack/defense ratings and type of attack/defense.

This was Part 1: Hitler Turns Against Russia, and was the intial release for the series.

Part 2: The Overrunning of the West was also published before the series was discontinued. The remaining 7 parts were never published.
