The rules are virtually the same as the rules for Axis and Allies. If the player has played the original Axis and Allies game, they should be able to step in very quickly and start playing this European-focused version of the game. Most playing pieces are still given the same attack restrictions and powers. This European version of the game does add a few new types of playing pieces – artillery and destroyers – which add to the killing power and require special strategies for use.The game centers on an extra large game board that depicts a map of Europe, North Africa, the Atlantic and part of North America. Game pieces are provided for the four countries involved in the European war activities – Russia, Germany, Great Britain and the United States.
The game includes:
- Game board
- Battle board
- Industrial Production Certificates (money)
- 4 national reference charts
- National control markers
- National production charts
- 12 dice
- Plastic chips (red and gray)
- 373 historically-accurate plastic game pieces:
- 100 infantry
- 42 artillery pieces
- 12 anti-aircraft guns
- 40 armored tanks
- Anti-aircraft guns
- 44 fighter planes
- 15 bombers
- 12 battleships
- 28 destroyers
- 10 aircraft carriers
- 24 transport ships
- 28 submarines
- 12 industrial complex
A detailed, illustrated Gameplay Manual details rules such as the amount of money and the number of game pieces which should be allotted to each country at the beginning of the game. It also includes specific information on the use of various game pieces. For example, a player can purchase infantry for a lot less money than the cost of a fighter plane. But, the infantry require additional purchases such as guns and tanks to be fully effective. The player has to make strategic decisions about the cost of a ground war action versus the cost of an air or sea-based action.
