Desert Rats:

Desert Rats is a simulation, for two players, of the famous campaign fought in the Western Desert between December 1940 and December 1942, between the British (and British Empire's) Eighth Army and a German/Italian Army commanded during much of the campaign by General Rommel. Players take it in turns to move their pieces around the mapboard showing that portion of Egypt and Libya where the campaign was fought, engage enemy units in combat, and pursue a variety of specified objectives. Before commencing play, the players agree between themselves to start the game at one of a number of given 'start dates' and play up to one of a number of given 'stop dates,' thereby giving a game anything from three to 25 game turns in length

Includes commando raids, ambushes, flank attacks, massed tank battles, fortifications, hidden movement, heroic sacrifices, sieges, etc...

Halfaya Pass, Sidi Barani, Tobruk... Can you as Rommel outwit the numerically superior British? Can you as Montgomery stop him at Alamein? History is in th emaking as you take the command decisions in this exciting battle game!
