A World At War completes the Advanced
Third Reich/Empire of the Rising Sun game system, refining and clarifying the
rules in every area of the game. Five years of design and relentless play
testing have resulted in a polished, proven game, which includes the following
innovations:
 | named ships, allowing players to sink (or lose!) the Bismarck, Yamato, New
Jersey, and other famous ships |
 | naval construction rules which allow major powers to build the navy they
think will suit their strategic requirements |
 | mobilization rules which allow major powers to tailor their army and air
force pools to meet their needs - provided they anticipate them accurately
|
 | oil rules which force the Axis to worry about their inadequate oil
reserves even when victory is within their grasp |
 | simplified diplomatic rules which allow minor countries to align
themselves with various major powers |
 | more intuitive Combat Results and Attrition Tables |
 | additional terrain on both the European and Pacific maps. |
