The Desert Fox: Rommel's Campaign for North Africa April 1941-December 1942
Brigade-level wargame that recreates the North African campaign from early 1941 through the end of 1942. Players command Axis or Allied (Commonwealth) forces across two maps, maneuvering brigade-scale units, conducting attacks, and managing supply and territorial control. The Axis side tries to seize key ports and advance into Egypt, while the Allied player defends Alexandria and seeks to contain and attrit Axis formations. Play options include a short five-turn scenario focused on the initial Axis drive on Tobruk and a full campaign covering the wider war in Northeast Africa.
