The Mediterranean

About this board game

The Mediterranean is the third and final volume in Robert Beyma’s Struggle for Europe series, with a listed play time of 480 minutes and a 2005 release year. It includes a Desert War scenario while adding campaign and naval rules for large scenarios using this game alongside War Without Mercy and Brute Force.

The game’s maps cover the area from the Tunisia-Libya border in the west to Tehran in the east. One 11″ x 30″ map sheet and one 11″ x 22″ sheet mate lengthwise, and they also connect with the maps from the earlier games in the series.

Several scenarios are included, offering different time frames and campaign scopes:

• Fall Blau, set in 1942
• 1939–1941 Campaign
• 1943–1944 Campaign
• 1939–1945 Campaign
• Desert War

Two sheets of sturdy, die-cut counters provide 560 pieces in multiple colors. The counters represent numerous minor powers, major navies, additional land and air combatants for the major powers, and markers used in the campaign scenarios.

The new Scenario Book incorporates series errata, while the box also includes the new 3rd Edition Struggle for Europe Series Standard Rules. With its extensive campaign scenarios, connected maps, and added naval rules, The Mediterranean is designed to complete the series’ broader campaign experience.
