Torch

A two-player wargame covering the Allied invasion of French North Africa in November 1942 and the campaign for control of Africa through May 1943. One player commands American and British forces, including Free French, Indian, and New Zealand units, while the other directs German and Italian forces. Players manage ground, air, and naval operations across coastal, mountainous, and desert terrain. The rules cover armor, antitank capabilities, supply, air superiority, shipping, parachute drops, amphibious landings, and commando actions. Political rules determine how Vichy French forces respond to the invasion. The game can be played independently or combined with other games in the series to cover the wider North African and Near Eastern theater.
