bggid = 6205"Europe Engulfed" is a
block wargame developed by Rick Young and Jesse Evans forGMT Games , simulating the European theater of war duringWorld War II featuring a streamlined play structure and multiple well-balanced strategies for both sides, giving players the chance to either relive history or lead the Axis war machine to victory. It is generally considered to be a step up in complexity from "Axis & Allies ", while being less complex than such games as "Advanced Third Reich ".Fact|date=March 2008"Europe Engulfed" is notable for its Special Action mechanism. Special Actions represent concentrated logistical effort, and as such are fairly costly, but also powerful. Special Actions may be spent to allow for large territorial gains in a single turn, such as the German conquest of France; or the British evacuation from Dunkirk. Neither of these require any "special" rules outside of the basic game system. This is a feat which few World War II European Theater games have accomplished.
