Current Status
The current status of the series can be seen at the publisher's Europa site, hmsgrd.com. As of November 2005 the plan for Europa conforms approximately to the plan offered in 1998 (above), except that no Roman numerals are given for the games, and:
- Partisan War has been renamed to PARTIZAN!
- Wavell's War joins the list.
- The Eastern Front is once more planned as a trilogy, with Clash of Titans inserted between Total War and Total Victory, to cover the years 1943-1944.
- A new Ike's War is proposed as a module linking War in the Desert with Second Front.
- There is no mention of Peace in our Time, The Naval War, or "Grand Europa"
The changes to the 1998 plan indicate an assessment by the new publishers that the Europa system cannot be completed simply by publishing the three discarded titles. Instead they propose Wavell's War and Ike's War as intermediate steps toward a completed system.
There is also a freely downloadable "Boot Camp Rules" set, with simplified rules to help people get started with the complex Europa system.
