Afrika: 2nd Edition

Two-player operational-level simulation of the North African campaign, covering 1940–1942, with solitaire play supported. Players command battalion-to-division formations on a hex map (10 miles/16 km per hex) and resolve monthly turns. The game emphasizes mobile warfare and logistics: supply lines, convoys, and desert attrition directly affect movement and combat outcomes. Low-complexity SCS rules streamline play while retaining historical detail, using a set of counters and two maps to manage maneuvers, engagements, and supply status over a campaign-length scenario lasting several hours.
