A World at War (Third Edition)

A World at War contains a dozen scenarios, ranging from the introductory Battle of the Atlantic and Barbarossa scenarios up to European and Pacific Campaign Games. But dedicated gamers will be hard-pressed to resist testing their luck, skill and especially their nerves by taking on the entire war in the full-fledged Campaign Game.

First published by GMT in 2003, A World at War is a grand strategy game based on the award-winning Advanced Third Reich/Empire of the Rising Sun gaming system. A World at War simulates the military, economic, political, diplomatic, research and production aspects of the Second World War. It lets the players find out for themselves what might have happened if:

• Germany had tried to execute Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain.
• Admiral Raeder's Mediterranean strategy had been adopted and the British position in the Middle East had crumbled.
• The Western Allies had tried Churchill's Balkan strategy
• You had been in command

The second edition of A World at War adds clarifications and refinements based on thousands of games played since 2003, based on contributions from hundreds of A World at War players.

This third printing is a straight reprint of the second printing maps and counters, and includes the most current version of the rulebook and other components.
