Index of Nations
A guide to all the nations of the Europa series of wargames.

- For each nation with a presence in the Europa series, this index lists games with maps covering a significant proportion of that nation’s territory (excluding overseas territory) and games containing a significant proportion of that nation’s armed forces.
- Games listed for maps exclude minor sections of a nation appearing elsewhere (such as a corner of Great Britain in Fall of France and Second Front)
- Games listed for counters exclude small and/or non-standard forces appearing elsewhere, especially in non-standard color schemes (such as French forces in Narvik, 1st edition)
- This index also lists the color scheme(s) for the armed forces of each nation.
- When two colors are shown before “on” (such as black and white on blue), the first color is the ink on the upper half of the counter and the second color is the ink on the lower half of the counter
- Nations/forces not yet assigned color schemes are marked as TBD (to be determined)
- See also: Unit Colors Summary by John Astell at the Classic Europa discussion group
