About this game

In this game players impersonate generals Montgommery and Rommel - leaders of 8th British Army and Afrika Korps fighting in northern Africa (1941-42). The game uses relatively simple set of rules but it contains several mechanics concepts in: the units are represented by counters and cards; the maneuvers, terrains and leaders have appropriate cards each; and the battles are performed using cards and dice rolling.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.5/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
