Rommel at Gazala (Second Edition)

This game simulates the German-Italian offensive against the British Eighth Army’s fortified line near Gazala, Libya, in May and June 1942. Players command forces from battalion to division level across a desert map, maneuvering around minefields and fortifications while contesting armored engagements and supply routes. Special rules represent German 88mm guns, armor superiority, defensive positions, and Rommel’s command abilities. Turns cover two days, with each hex representing three miles. Low counter density and streamlined rules support games lasting approximately one to two hours.
