A new game I got from Historic Aviation.
-
Here are the Allies cards and Home Front cards.
-
Here are all the Property cards front and back. Like I said before, the properties are events throughout the war, beginning with Lend Lease and ending with Victory Over Japan.
The four Railroad properties are Supply Routes.
The Utilities are US Aircraft Factories and Shipyards.

Nice concept. Does the game use WWII-themed pieces that the players move around the board?
-
Finally, we have the little pieces of the game.
Instead of “houses” and “hotels”, they are called “camps” and “HQs” but they are not really anything new. The camps are little brown plastic houses and the HQs are grey plastic hotels. One thing about the “camp” pieces, it looks like they were not quite molded right. It seems like they might have been taken out of the mold while still hot and sort of sagged a little around the edges. I am wondering if this was on purpose to sort of make them look like tents.
Now we have the cool new tokens that come with this game only. The dice are pretty standard, but the six tokens are things that were used in the US services during WW2. Here are the different tokens:
A pair of combat boots
A B-17 Flying Fortress bomber
A US Army helmet
An LCVP Landing Craft
A Cathedral Radio
A Sherman TankI am looking forward to playing a game or two of Monopoly now. Hope you all enjoy the pics.

Yeah, you posted before I could get the last pics up. Check them out. Pretty cool.

Very nice. I wouldn’t have been able to identify the landing craft if you hadn’t said what it was, but the other five pieces look great.

that game looks awesome

It is pretty neat. I have played a couple of games now and while it is just basically Monopoly, the WW2 theme is cool. It would also be a pretty good learning experience for anyone not familiar with WW2 or the US involvement in the war. The neat facts on the fortune and property cards and short but informative. Most of it is kind of old hat to me because I have watched so many WW2 documentaries, but I still learned a couple of new things.

It would have been a nice touch to rename the jail square “in the brig”.

Does look interesting Knp. Thank you for your time to photograph and post.
Not sure I think the tank looks much like a Sherman though(on my phone).
Do you disagree? Am I blind? -

Do you disagree? Am I blind?No, you are seeing just fine. The Sherman tank is somewhat squat from normal. It is shorter and wider than Shermans were. Still looks cool though.

HA! Good one. Another possibility would be “the Stockade”.

And the picture of the “Go To Jail” policeman with the whistle could be replaced by a picture of an M.P. or Shore Patrol guy.
