EuroFront: War in Europe, 1939-45 (1995)

ByMichail

EuroFront

EuroFront is a set of board wargame rules published by Columbia Games in 1995 that allows the previously published EastFront, WestFront, and MedFront wargames to be combined into one large two-player board wargame.

Why is EuroFront Popular?

EuroFront is a popular game among board wargame enthusiasts due to its complexity and historical accuracy. The game is designed to reflect historical strategic balances, but Diplomacy and other factors can change the course of the game. The game is also significant because it provides a framework to combine the rules, maps, and block counters from EastFront, WestFront, and MedFront into one large two-player board wargame.

Game Components of EuroFront

Square plastic or wooden blocks standing on edge representing military units. Sticker with the unit information is placed on the side facing the owning player. 80 blocks representing the military units from several smaller countries.

Game Setup of EuroFront

Players need to already have a copy of each of the EastFront, WestFront, and MedFront games in order to play EuroFront. A large amount of table space is required, about 4 ft x 6 ft (1.2 m x 2 m), since the maps of all three games are used simultaneously.

Gameplay Mechanics of EuroFront

EuroFront is a block game, where square plastic or wooden blocks standing on edge represent military units, taking the place of more traditional die-cut cardboard counters. The opponent only sees the blank back of the block, resulting in an effective fog of war. The game is fairly complex, requiring all of the rules from the three individual games as well as a 40-page EuroFront rulebook.

Game Objective of EuroFront

The objective of EuroFront is to simulate the war in Europe from 1939-45. The game is designed to reflect historical strategic balances, but Diplomacy and other factors can change the course of the game.
