Outstanding Improvement of a Great Series

novotny
January 16, 2010

This version, more than any other, captures the global nature of world war II. The designers have taken the best parts of all editions and have masterfully blended them into a great game.

The best enhancements come in the form of China, Italy, objectives, and R&D. The inclusion of China and Italy necessarily make strategies far more sophisticated. The R&D rules ensure that technological differences play a bigger role in the war.

The only drawbacks are minor. The destroyers and cruisers are easily confused, and the two pieces of the board slide apart easily.

This is by far the most enjoyable edition that I have played.
