My wife and kids bought me War In The Desert recently for my birthday. So far I am pretty happy with this new incarnation of an old favorite. It had been nearly 20 years since I actually played any Europa game (Fire in the East/Scorched Earth), and smashing the Italian army was great fun and brought back memories. Next time I’ll go further and let the Africa Corps in on the fun.
Gentlemen
The downloads content seems a bit lacking compared to those available on the old website. For example, the Europa Boot Camp (2004, Deen Wood edition) rules, which should be freely available to encourage new players to learn the basics of the system, are no longer offered. Together with the game specific Boot Camp Supplemental Rules (which exist for Balkan Front and First To Fight and perhaps others) these should be re-posted. Likewise I recall a Fall of France 2004 rule set and OOB update as being previously available.
I’d prefer to see this as a one-stop resource rather than chasing up leads on Google to find my Europa play aids.
I can add the old boot camp rules back to the website, if you wish. The FF 2004 rule set and OOB are over on the Yahoo group website if you need those.
Hi Mitch
Sorry haven’t been back before now!
Well, I have the Boot Camp rules I noted, however I feel others may appreciate having access to them here.
I taught my son the basics of Europa’s, at times arcane, mechanics using the First to Fight boot camp rules set. I know that the merits of the Boot Camp rules are subject to debate given the more comprehensive standard rules in the various games but they do meet the intention of learning/teaching the system (albeit in simplified fashion) to new entrants.
Thanks for the advice about the location of the updated FoF rules set.
I guess my idea was to have all such Europa “stuff” either hosted here or failing that linked to from here.
Cheers
Frank
Those have been reposted in the download section. — Mitch
I’m still eagerly waiting on updates to the Great War series…Ground, Air and Naval Rules need updating badly. Its difficult enough to encourage new players to read these rules (thanks for making them available for free download) but then telling them they need these X pages of Errata kind of kills the initial exitement. Lost more than 1 potential player due to this issue :( – WW1 is a hard sell, asking people to read another, and errata just kind of burns all that into ashes.
Cheers – glad things are wrapping up with Total War. Looking forward to getting a copy, although I doubt I’ll ever find an oponent to play it against. Still, its amazingly nice looking.

How about posting the Total War rules & charts on the site downloads, so that those waiting shipment have something to study and dream about while we’re waiting for the printer?
