Conquest & Tragedy

What is Conquest & Tragedy

Conquest and Tragedy allows players to combine Triumph and Tragedy (T&T) and Conquest and Consequence (CnC) to play out the events of 1936-45 on a worldwide basis using the popular T&T system. Three partnerships oppose each other, and only one of them will win. Each partnership has one faction in the European Theater (ETO) and one in the Pacific Theatre (PTO). The game allows for 3-6 players, so players may control one or both factions of a partnership.

The Communist factions are the “USSR" (European Russia) and the “Soviets" (Siberian Russia plus Mao’s Red Chinese). With east and west Russia being a single nation, this naturally is a tight cooperative partnership with the advantage of geographical unity.

The Militarist factions are the Axis (Germany-Italy) in Europe and Japan in Asia. They have a solid but more limited partnership that suffers from severe geographical separation. They do have a military head start on the other factions.

The Capitalist factions are "Western Europe" (Britain and France plus the Asian/Pacific British Empire) and the USA, which has a seaboard in each theatre.
