About the game
This wargame explores a number of possible wars that could have occured in Europe after World War II. It includes fifteen scenarios: Czechs vs. Slovak separatists Albanians vs. Yugoslavians Germans vs. Poles Belgians vs. Walloons Belgians vs. French French vs. Dutch Russians vs. Central Asians Romanians vs. Hungarians Turks vs. Bulgarians Greeks against Turks Greek Cypriots vs. British Soviet attacks against Turkey US vs. Soviets in Turkey From the box: 1945 to 1990 was an era of peace and stability in Europe. NATO in the West and the Warsaw Pact in the East imposed the longest peace since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. But as the Cold War ends, this armed stability will end as well. The nations of Europe have many long-standing territorial disputes and historic animosities that only now can erupt into violence. For years, Romania and Hungary could put aside their differences in the face of a greater threat from NATO. Greece and Turkey stood uncomfortably together against the potential threat of the Warsaw Pact. Now, the age of unsteady friends has passed. Battlefield: Europe explores seven potential European flashpoints. Each could turn violent at any time in the next ten years.
