Advanced European Theater of Operations

About this board game

Advanced European Theater of Operations is a corps-level simulation of World War II in Europe for 1–5 players, with a listed play time of 360 minutes. It offers a detailed grand strategic view of the conflict, from its beginning to its end, along with shorter campaigns and scenarios.

Historical accuracy is central to the design. Combat units were exhaustively researched from the actual military TO&Es of World War II, while naval and air units reflect the authentic performance and abilities of their wartime counterparts. The game’s production model duplicates actual Second World War production figures, adding an industrial dimension to the struggle.

• Additional naval and aircraft types, along with more Generals and Admirals
• Every World War II capital ship, including aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, and raiders
