    Product Description:

    The Second World War Game Series is an interlocking series of games allowing player to simulate the entirety of World War II from 1/9/1939 until the final Surrender of Imperial Japan in August of 1945. Take the place of the leaders and change history.

    Balkan Fury

    There is trouble brewing again in the Balkans, an area synonymous with turbulent history with the forces of Italy, Greece, Great Britain and its Commonwealth, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria and even Albania ready to take up arms (and, to be sure, it is 'a sea of troubles'). There are 9 scenarios to be played out with 1120 counters on two 18 x 26 inch maps ranging from the Battle of Taranto right up to the campaign game starting from the Italian invasion of Greece in October 1940 through to the ejection of the Allied forces from Crete in May 1941. Can you as the Italian player live up to your leader's grandiose expectations or must you undergo the embarrassment of asking the Germans for 'assistance'? Can you as the Allied player form a Southern Front to help your Greek allies and keep the pressure on Turkey to enter the war on the Allied side? Inevitably, your forces will be too weak to resist a Wehrmacht close to its peak of efficiency but what would be the effect on world opinion (not to mention Turkey) if you leave the Greeks to their fate? After all, the war is a climactic struggle between the democracies and the dictatorships where the Allies have to do the right thing however bleak the probable outcome. And in war, you never know what will be the overall effect of some otherwise minor campaign especially with the Axis having to maximize their efforts at a time when their comparative strength is at its highest.

    Fall Marita

    The Italian invasion of Greece on 5/10/1940 started a chain of events that drove the Germans to order the subjugation of the Balkans. Can you accelerate Italian Operations and avoid German entanglement in the Balkans?

    The Battle of Cape Matapan

    Can the Italian fleet avoid a devastating defeat. Or can the Royal Navy continue in the tradition of Nelson?

    That then is Balkan Fury, a game that exercises the talents of both the Axis and Allied commanders to keep losses to a minimum in what can only ever be a secondary theatre of the war while maximizing potential gains from this enduringly “strategic area”. As we have seen, even minor setbacks here can have a lingering effect on the Axis war effort which, unacknowledged by much of the German High Command, was on a time critical path where even the loss of a few weeks could have serious downside later on; it almost makes it palatable for the British commander to obey his political masters and commit troops to Greece!!!

    Grading System

    Our Grading System  

    To ensure a smooth transaction, please review our grading system below as well as the Shipping Information tab before bidding. Be sure to review the exact condition (and any condition notes / incompleteness notes located next to the title and description) before purchase. All pictures are stock photos unless otherwise specified.

    SW  Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with any condition visible through shrink noted. For example, ?SW (NM)? means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.

    MINT  Perfect. Brand new.

    NM  Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear, and are considered to be "punched" unless the condition notes "unpunched."

    EX  Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.

    VG  Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.

    FAIR  Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, etc.

    POOR  Extremely well used and has major flaws, which may be too numerous to mention. Item is complete unless noted.

    More Condition Details 

    • Miniatures come unpainted and unassembled, unless specifically noted. Assembly is required for most miniatures and model kits.
    • Boxed Items are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition. If a book is listed in the same fashion, the first code represents the cover, and the second code the interior. For example a boxed game listed as VG / NM indicates that the outer box is in Very Good Condition, while the contents are in Near Mint Condition.
    • A "+" (plus) sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "-" (minus) sign indicates the opposite.
    • Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
    • Boardgame Counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable we will send you the parts or it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
    • Dice In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
    • Cardboard Backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
    • Flat Trays for SPI games and similar are not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
