Afrika Korps: The Desert War – Platoon Level Combat in World War II: A Panzer Grenadier Game

A platoon-level World War II tactical wargame set in the North African campaign of 1940–1941. Players command platoon-sized formations of German, British, Australian and Italian infantry, tanks and artillery across fifty scenarios that recreate actions from Italian raids in 1940 through Operation Brevity in May 1941. Gameplay uses the Panzer Grenadier ruleset and supports a range of engagements from close infantry fights to wide tank actions. Components include three large 22x34 maps and counters representing the full complement of forces used in Libya and Egypt; most scenarios use a single map while a few span multiple maps. The box functions as a standalone title in the series.
