BOXED GAMES…
DESERT BLITZKRIEG: Rommel's North African Campaign
Two-player game covering the North African desert from April 1941 to December 1942. Units are regimental level and Divisional Integrity is key to maximizing the density of your forces on the map covering eastern Libya and western Egypt from Aghelia to El Alamein. The game is of low-moderate complexity and features a Point-to-Point system while introducing a number of unique features.
Movement is along three different road types. Limited Port movement is possible. Supply Unit availability is critical for battles as supply units must be expended to conduct a battle. Simple but involving combat. Battles use a Battle Board with a Front Line and Second Line where positional tactics to maximize Combat Values are key. Battles can be a 'game within a game' and go for many rounds or be over quickly depending upon the player's decisions. Unit types reflect different capabilities on the Battle Board and the main map. A deck of event cards is provided to introduce a limited set of random events that will force players to deal with the uncertainty of combat.
Product Information:
- Complexity: 4 out of 10 (Low/Moderate)
- Playing time: 2.5 hours for short game, 10+ hours for full campaign
- Solitaire Suitability: Medium
- Players: Two (suitable for solitaire play)

BRITISH TANK ACE 1940-1945
Solitaire, tactical-level game that places you in command of a British tank during World War II in North Africa, Italy, and the European Theaters of Operation. You will make the tactical decisions a tank commander faces and control the actions of your crew while trying to survive. You will be assigned missions to attack, defend, or conduct movement-to-contact, depending on the current tactical situation. As time progresses and players survive, they may use the experience gained to improve their odds of success by purchasing skills. As their prestige increases, they may request improved versions of tanks when they suffer the loss of their previous tank. Awards and promotions help to narrate the player's eventual goal – to survive the war and help defeat Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.
Gameplay moves quickly. Once you have your initial tank and commander, play proceeds by rolling for a mission and then conducting it. Enemy forces range from Penal units to SS or Fallschirmjaeger, all randomly generated, ensuring no two careers will ever be the same. Combat is swift and sometimes deadly, as many of the Axis tanks, SPGs, and AT guns can destroy your tank. Terrain and weather also have an impact on operations, as well as smoke. Players must pay attention to hull down status, the orientation of their hull and turret, and decide when it is prudent to 'button up.' Artillery and mortar fire can sometimes support either side, and random events will add to the uncertainty of combat. Due to its streamlined play, a single mission can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.
While British Tank Ace is designed as a solitaire gaming experience, additional options for play are provided for both multi-player cooperative and competitive gaming sessions.
Product Information:
- Complexity: 4 out of 10 (Low/Moderate)
- Playing time: 10-15 minutes (single mission), 4-5 hours (full career)
- Solitaire Suitability: High, designed for solitaire play
- Players: One or more
