The Classic Iron Blitz 2rd Edition of a World War II game.
Axis need to at the end of the round control 2 out of 3 allied capitols plus their own capitols to win OR get to 84 production at end of round.
Allies need to control both Axis capitols plus their own capitols.
(Optional rule: Allies win if they get to 110 production at end of round [to enable, change Allied economic victory from 140 to 110]).
New Additions for Iron Blitz:
Destroyers attack and defend at 2, and cost 8 PUs. They do not have any special anti-submarine abilities.
Marines attack at 1 (2 during Amphibious Assaults), and defend at 2, and cost 4 PUs.
Optional rule: Russia may not attack during 1st turn (turn on game option: "Movement By Territory Restricted" for this).
