Wavell’s War

About this expansion

Wavell’s War is a Grand Europa module for 2–6 players, with a playing time of approximately 720 minutes. It links the Europa games Balkan Front and War in the Desert with East Africa, covering the years 1940 to 1943.

Ownership of both Balkan Front and War in the Desert is required for a complete play of Wavell’s War. The module also updates the rules and counters for those games to the latest Europa standards and includes previously published optional rules.

Its map coverage extends across all of East Africa and much of Sudan and the Arabian peninsula. A mapsheet overlay for Balkan Front and revised or new counters for Balkan Front and Italian East Africa help integrate the linked game areas into the broader campaign.

• 16 scenarios covering the module’s 1940–1943 scope
• 21 mapsheets covering East Africa and surrounding regions
• 1 mapsheet overlay for Balkan Front
• 3 countersheets containing 840 counters
• Eleven game charts, plus a scenarios and appendices book

Designed as an expansive addition to the Europa system, Wavell’s War combines updated material with extensive play aids and a substantial collection of maps and counters. Its scenarios and appendices provide the supporting framework for exploring this connected theater of war.

Released in 2005, Wavell’s War is intended for long, detailed sessions and requires the two linked Europa games for its complete experience.
