Baptism By Fire: The Battle of Kasserine

A tactical-level simulation of the February 1943 fighting in central Tunisia, focusing on initial Axis thrusts and the Allied response around Kasserine Pass. Players command battalion- and company-scale formations on hex maps representing desert and rough terrain, resolving movement, combat, command delays, and logistics across day-length turns. Scenarios range from short actions to a 10-turn campaign, with an order-of-battle based on detailed research and modular setups for different start points. A distinctive midgame mechanic forces the Axis to randomly select an objective, shaping victory conditions and limiting precommitment of forces. Play emphasizes maneuver, tempo, and handling of fractured command and limited formation resources.
