Description

Australian World War 2 roll and move game where the object is to be the first player to get 2 counters around a game board and return home to Australia via New Zealand. Players follow a path of both land and sea set through various Naval and European battle scenes which provide either advantages or penalties upon landing on them. The center of the board is a picture of King George VI. A players first counter must reach the King before his second counter can enter the game.
The graphics are interesting for their depictions of Mussolini and Hitler. There are also images of early Allied aircraft and warships such as the HMS Repulse. The game is dated 1940 (Italy entered the War in June that year and the HMS Repulse was sunk by December 1941). Publisher Unknown.
