What this is
European struggle between communist, fascist, and capitalist systems during 1936-1945. If there is war, they can still win by either of the above methods (with extra Economic Hegemony victory points available), or by: • Military Victory (capture TWO enemy capitals out of nine: each player controls three). If the game continues peacefully due to imposing defenses or player inclination, pressure builds as players approach a Production of 20, as secret Peace Dividend chits may take someone over the 25 Victory threshold.
