Wavell’s War (WW)

The first Grand Europa module, Wavell’s War links the games War in the Desert and Balkan Front with new material (maps and counters) covering the campaign for Italian East Africa. This is a module and requires the games War in the Desert and Balkan Front in order to play fully (the East Africa campaign and the Desert Scenarios in Wavell’s War requires only Wavell’s War and War in the Desert; and the Balkan Front scenarios in Wavell’s War require only Wavell’s War and Balkan Front, but the huge Grand Campaign Game requires Wavell’s War, War in the Desert, and Balkan Front).

Game Components

• 21 mapsheets covering all of East Africa and much of Sudan and the Arabian peninsula,
• 1 mapsheet overlay to Balkan Front
• Play aids including eleven game charts
• A rules book
• A scenarios and appendices book with 16 scenarios
• 22 quarter-size maps
• 3 countersheets (840 counters).
