Scorched Earth is the thoroughly revised edition of Unentschieden, the second game of the Europa series, and is the companion game to Fire in the East, the revised edition of Drang Nach Osten. Fire in the East/Scorched Earth is a detailed, operational-level game of the German invasion of the USSR, from the start of the war in June 1941 to the end of December 1944. A copy of Fire in the East is required in order to play Scorched Earth.

Scorched Earth is a game in the continuing Europa series of comprehensive division-level games of World War Il in Europe and North Africa.

Overall, Europa is intended to re-create World War Il in Europe and North Africa at the division level, using consistent unit strengths and interlocking maps, while each individual Europa game deals in greater detail with a specific campaign or battle. If necessary for detailed historical accuracy or playability, individual games are presented at levels lower than divisional, at differing scales, or with specialized non-standard rules. In this way, each game presents the greatest possible utility to those interested in only the situation covered by the specific game, while also providing continuing Europa material to the followers of the series.

Scorched Earth continues this tradition. The rules are a careful selection of Europa rules and specialized rules allowing detailed examination of the events of the campaign. The maps and counters are at standard Europa scales.

• Three maps (7A, 8A, 9A) extending Fire in the East to the east and southeast
  
  
• 16 counter sheets with 3840 counters (6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
