Overview
This game is on a single 11x17" map (yet stretches from Portugal to the Persian Gulf) and has 120 counters. It originally appeared in the first issue of GameFix magazine. Billed as the smallest-ever game on the whole of the Second World War in Europe, a pitch that overlooked the 1991 3W release 2WW which also featured an 11x17" map but only 80 counters. It is now published by One Small Step. A new version is available as print n' play (with included VASSAL module) at wargamevault.
