PanzerArmee Afrika: Rommel in the Desert, April 1941 - November 1942,
is a simulation of the North African Campaign between April 1941 and
November 1942. Battalion, Regiment and Brigade-sized units represent
the actual forces which took part in the fighting. Included in the game
is a Variable Orders-of-Battle Chart that offers variations in forces to
demonstrate how history might have been different.
The game spans the entire 20-month campaign, allowing players to
recreate the famous battles of the period between the British-led
Commonwealth forces and the Axis forces of Germany and Italy, to include
Rommel's Panzer Army Africa. Set at an operational level, players must
manage their military forces and precious supplies better than their
opponent to achieve victory. The Axis aims at capturing Alexandria, the
key to the Suez Canal. The British player has to prevent all this.
And so goes the description on Board Game Geek. I picked my copy up quite cheaply on e-Bay. There were only four counters missing and I've created substitutes to fill in which look OK.
The components and gameboard are quite attractive and it looks very playable solo - I've just not got round to doing anything with it yet. Too many other projects on the go just now.
Desert Cat only showed a little interest!
