About the game

What you do in a play session

Axis Empires: Totaler Krieg! is an epic wargame recreating World War II in Europe, from Norway's fjords to North Africa's deserts, from Moscow's gates to Normandy's beaches. With campaign/battle card-driven mechanics, dice rolling, and a hex grid, the game offers a deep, decision-rich experience. You can explore alternate scenarios, like if the Republicans won the Spanish Civil War or if France modernized its army. The game progresses from pre-war (diplomacy/mobilization) to limited war and finally total war, where anything goes for victory. Includes two massive maps, 800+ counters, 200 cards, and rule/scenario books. Can be combined with Axis Empires: Dai Senso! for a global WWII experience. Get ready for hours of strategy, unpredictability, and living history!
