War in Europe

[Von Earlmann]

It was originally an SPI boardgame from about 1980, released as two separate games - "War in the West" and "War in the East", it was truly the mother of all boardgames - covered no fewer than 9 SPI regular maps (to anyone not familiar with SPI games they were about 3' by 2'), Around 5-6000 counters. Each side's turn took at least one full gaming session. The maps took up all of my bedrooms floor, and god help anyone with a cat! Even in 1980 it cost around £50 which was a LOT of money then.

AHH - happy days

Now I see its been released in Computer form I really must take a look

yes that's the original.....I have only met one guy who actually got the whole thing set up in his basement..........wife got mad at him and tipped over all his tables.........I don't think they are still together anymore :-)
