Rommel in the Desert

Description

Rommel in the Desert

Rommel in the desert is a fast-moving, challenging, tense, and playable wargame based on the North African desert campaign of World War II.

This new edition of the classic WWII North African Campaign contains revised rules, mapboard, and blocks with outstanding artwork. Plays in 3-8 hours.

Rommel in the Desert simulates the experience of command. The real problems of generals have nothing to do with shuffling combat factors to get a perfect 3-1 attack while the enemy waits passively to be overwhelmed. Rommel gained many of his victories by employing speed, daring, and surprise.

In this game, as in the desert campaign, the events of the battlefield are often subordinate to the battle of wits and nerves between opposing commanders. A good grasp of strategy will help, but foresight, nerve, and instinct are the crucial elements of success.

Rommel in the Desert has been enjoyed by thousands of gamers for over 40 years. Experience the wargame many consider the best on the subject. Visit Boardgamegeek.com for ratings and game reviews.

The “Columbia Block System”

Rommel in the Desert is a Columbia Block System game. The game information for each piece is facing the player, but not the opponent! This allows a “fog-of-war” aspect of play that allows an extra layer of subtlety to gameplay. It allows for feints, bluffs, and outright surprises! 

Also, it has a step reduction system built into place as well! As units take damage, they simply are rotated to show their new strength. It is an innovative design that has been a fan favorite of gamers in the know for years!
