Blocks in Afrika
Play the Axis or the Western Allies in an operational simulation of the North African campaign from 1940 to 1943. Wooden blocks and cubes represent military units, resources, and hidden forces on a large map, creating fog of war as players plan and conduct operations. Multiple scenarios cover campaigns and battles including Operation Compass, Tobruk, El Alamein, and several naval engagements. Basic, advanced, and optional rules add systems such as fuel, production, technology research, amphibious invasions, parachute assaults, and strategic warfare.
