As one of the two players, you'll take on the role of either the Axis forces, led by Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, or the Allied forces, comprising the British 8th Army. The game is an operational level simulation, which means you'll be making strategic decisions that can turn the tide of the battle. With easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right into the action, using dice rolling and a hexagon grid to navigate the battlefield. As you play, you'll experience the intensity of war, using simulation mechanics to recreate the challenges and triumphs of the real battle. The game is designed by Nigel Hickman and Chris Harding, and has been thrilling players since its release in 2008.
