World at War #76: Operation Jupiter – Churchill’s Plan to Invade Norway, 1942

Product Type: Magazine-format board wargame.

This issue includes both the World at War #76 magazine and the complete game Operation Jupiter – Churchill’s Plan to Invade Norway, 1942.

Operation Jupiter is a two-player World War II wargame exploring Churchill’s unrealised 1942 plan to invade Norway. The operation was conceived as an alternative to Operation Torch, aiming to seize northern airfields, reopen the supply route to the Soviet Union, and create a smaller-scale second front against Germany.

The game covers the first 30 days of this hypothetical campaign, with Allied forces from the US, Britain, Canada, and the Soviet Union facing German defenders in Norway. Each hex represents about 10 miles, each turn represents three days, and ground units represent regiments, brigades, divisions, or equivalent formations.

The magazine also includes historical articles on Fort Drum, the Battle of the Kiev Salient, and Hollandia.

Contents include: World at War #76 magazine, one 22" x 34" map, and 176 die-cut counters.
