Do you have the ambition, the skill, and the insidious single-mindedness necessary to conquer all Europe? War (and lots of behind-the-scenes intrigue) takes place on a map of Europe, among 4-8 players all trying to conquer 29 countries. With the technology of the latter-half of the Twentieth Century, you can build Army, Navy, Air Force, Missiles, Anti-Missiles, and even more industry with which to build. You can spend your cash on research, spy networks, counterspies, or propaganda. To win you'll need all of them - the question is how much of each?

The object is to occupy or conquer all 29 countries, or otherwise eliminate all the other players from the game. This is an area movement strategic game (each "space" on the map is generally an entire country), with production a very important part of the game. Names & addresses of players are published on turn one.

VARIANTS AVAILABLE: SLOW BATTLE PLAN (moves once a month), PARTNERS BATTLE PLAN (each player signs up with a friend -each player has his own position and is trying to win for himself, but at least you know you have a friend in the game), BEGINNERS BATTLE PLAN (only ONE beginners game per per-son!) Rules cost $2. Setup fee $5. Turns are $3.50 for the 1st ten, $4 after turn 10. Extra maps are 20 for $2. The rules for BP and for WW (below) are all in the same rulebook.
