A couple of gamers are going to try and complete the old boardgame 'Campaign for North Africa' but think it may take 20 years…

Brave. I knew of two guys in college who set out to play "Drang Noch Oste" one semester. By Christmas holidays one had flunked out of school and the other was on scholastic probation.

That I can understand 😊.

Some mates and I used to spend weekends playing Air War.
Usually all weekend to make 1 move.

And I thought that games like SPI's Global War took a long time! I hope somebody gives each of them a dice jail (gaol)early on as a distraction for times where their dice misbehave.

Without taking anything away from the bold folly of the endeavour, they at least have one advantage over those originally faced with the game on release – they have made spreadsheets for all the paperwork. That should speed play up a bit.

I wonder if they'll get to the end and the loser will ask for a rematch 😁
