The Desert
Sere, serene, eternal, the Western Desert stretches across North Africa.
Here, Rommel - perhaps the greatest of Germany's generals - marshalled Italian troops and powerful German panzer forces to sweep the desert in brilliant blitzkrieg.
Here, Wavell, Auchinleck and Montgomery fought bitterly to destroy the enemy and defend Alexandria.
Here, history's great generals developed the mobile tactics of modern warfare.
"Rommel in North Africa: The War in the Desert 1941-42" is a two-player wargame, designed by Jon Southard and published by West End Games in 1986, depicting the campaigns in North Africa during World War II using a Point-to-Point Movement map and an unusual sequence of play.
