Description

Rommel in the Desert portrays all the fast paced action that the North African theater is famous for. Seven scenarios are available: 1940, 1941, 1942, Crusader, Gazala, the Axis advance into Egypt after the fall of Tobruk and a campaign game that covers the entire war in North Africa.

In order to create a fog of war, unit blocks are stood up with the backs facing the opponent.  In this manner the opponent not tell the type or the strength of the units being deployed against him until battle begins.  Along the sides of the unit blocks, only visible to the owner until it comes time for combat, are numbers that represent the strength of the unit.  The current strength is on top.  As the unit takes losses, it is rotated so a lesser value is on top.
