Why our games are the best

Unparalleled scale

Every TSWW game in each “theatre” interlocks, so the ETO mates to the MTO, Africa mates to the MTO and the Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War maps tie in with both.

Meticulous research

All our OB and timeline research is from the same basic source files, thus providing a seamless transition from game to game, ensuring that the products correctly reflect each other in unit terms.

Multi dimensional

Surface, sea, sub-sea and air units allow full-scale war in 4 dimensions with accurate rules. Can your side win?

The TSWW game timeline

Diffraction Entertainment Ltd. publishes the TKC-designed TSWW game series, the ONLY way to fight World War Two on your table top at 15 miles to the hex, with units ranging from P51s to HMS Warspite, from the elite panzer divisions of the Heer to the US Marines assaulting Atolls in the Pacific.
