Quartermaster General WW2: Total War

About this expansion

Quartermaster General WW2: Total War is a World War II expansion for 2–6 players, designed for games of about 90 minutes. Released in 2020, it adds new tactical possibilities to the second edition of Quartermaster General without dramatically increasing play time.

The expansion’s most important addition is Air Forces, which bring a new dimension to the conflict. They can defend Armies and Navies occupying the same space, or attack adjacent Air Forces in battle. This creates fresh decisions around positioning and protection while preserving the game’s simple-to-learn approach.

Total War also introduces new forces that change the opening setup and encourage different strategies. Chinese and French forces join the conflict, expanding the available options from the beginning of play.

• Air Forces: Defend Armies and Navies in the same space or attack adjacent Air Forces.
• Bolster cards: Play these directly from your hand as reactions to gameplay.
• Alternate what-if cards: Explore historical strategies that were considered but never executed, including Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain.

Bolster cards add a further tactical layer by allowing reactions during play, while the alternate what-if cards invite players to consider paths history did not take. Together, these additions offer more tactical moves without making setup slow or the rules difficult to learn.

With its new forces, air power, reactions, and alternate strategies, Quartermaster General WW2: Total War increases variety and supports greater replayability while retaining a quick, accessible game experience.
