In 1940, the Italian Army invaded Egypt beginning the famous North African Campaign of World War Two. After a short withdrawal, the Commonwealth forces counterattacked and all but threw the Italians back to Tripoli.
Not content to let his southern partner bring disgrace to Axis arms, Hitler dispatched a German contingent under a new commander - Erwin Rommel. Upon arrival he launched a series of rapid mobile campaigns across the rocky sands.
By the end of 1942, Rommel had failed in his final bid to seize the Nile Delta and was thrown completely out of the theater by Montgomery's pursuit after El Alamein. Axis fortunes would never rise on the African continent again.
AFRIKA is a fast-paced game of mobile warfare at the operational level. Can you take the Nile? Can your Commonwealth forces kick Axis armor out of Egypt for good? This game gives you the tools to find out. The game's easy-to-use supply system (no writing) allows for a historically correct logistical aspect to the game.
This is a reprint of the second game in the series begun by Stalingrad Pocket.
