The Dark Sands: War in North Africa, 1940-42

A strategic-level wargame that adapts Ted S. Raicer’s DARK system to the North African campaigns of 1940–42. Players command British, Commonwealth, Italian, and German formations across a map of the Western Desert, conducting operational maneuvers, supply management, and combined-arms combat. Scenarios cover key actions from Operation Compass through the battles leading to El Alamein, with rules for desert movement, logistics, and armored warfare. Play emphasizes maneuver, initiative, and attrition as units exploit terrain, supply lines, and timing to achieve operational objectives.
