World at War #88: War Comes Early – Czechoslovakia 1938

World at War #88: War Comes Early – Czechoslovakia 1938 is a magazine-format issue from Strategy & Tactics Press / Decision Games exploring an alternative-history conflict in 1938.

Product Type: Magazine-format issue with included wargame.

The included game, War Comes Early, is a low-to-intermediate complexity two-player wargame asking what might have happened if Czechoslovakia had rejected the Munich Agreement and chosen to fight. With Soviet support pledged, the crisis could have escalated from a German-Czechoslovak confrontation into a wider European war.

The game covers the first six weeks of this hypothetical conflict, from October into the first half of November 1938, before the participating armies would have needed to pause and rebuild their logistical capacity.

Components include: one 22×34 inch map and 280 half-inch die-cut counters.
