Wavell's War

Wavell’s War (WW) combines the War in the Desert (WitD) game with the campaign in East Africa. It also ties the Balkan Front (BF) game to both of these and allows gamers to recreate the autumn 1940 start of the war in the Mediterranean and carry it through until 1943. The module contains 22 new maps, 840 new die-cut counters, 11 game play charts, rules, OBs, scenarios and a full appendices booklet.

This is the first Grand Europa module that will link specific existing games together and allow continuous play across related campaigns. The module is named for the British General Archibald Wavell who, as Commander in Chief of British forces in the Middle East, would fight across five different fronts from the Balkan Alps to the savannas of Kenya.

Always short of troops and supplies, General Wavell would direct the beginning of the campaigns which would see the end of the Italian empire. Few military commanders have been faced with the geographic challenges that were placed before Wavell. Now you can face those same challenges.

Wavell’s War is a limited edition publication and is expected to sell out quickly. In order to play the full campaign, you must have the WitD and BF games. WW is not a stand-alone game but instead, links these two existing games together. The "East African Campaign" scenario can be played completely with WitD and the WW module. This is the successor to "Africa Orientale", originally published in Strategy & Tactics magazine.
