• Complete Game Edition – Includes both the World at War magazine and a fully playable wargame, blending historical analysis with tabletop gameplay.
• Strategic Middle East Campaign – Simulates operations in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, where control of resources and positioning were vital to the war effort.
• Political and Military Decision-Making – Balance diplomatic actions, military operations, and limited resources to secure control of the region.

The magazine explores how the British secured a series of hard-fought victories across the Middle East, ensuring vital oil supplies and opening a land route to the Soviet Union.

In the game, players take on the roles of Axis and Allied forces, competing for control through a combination of military operations and political influence. The Axis player can support coups, foment revolts, and extend influence, while the Allied player must stabilise the region and protect key strategic assets.

Each turn represents approximately 10 days of operations, with units ranging from battalions to armies. Success depends on careful planning, efficient use of resources, and the ability to respond to rapidly changing conditions.
