Alamein: History's Turning Point 1942 is a deeply immersive wargame that drops you into the midst of one of World War II's most pivotal battles. Published in 2006, this game was designed by Michael Bennighof, Brian L.

As you navigate the complexities of the game, which can take anywhere from 240 to 2000 minutes to play, you'll encounter a range of scenarios that recreate key moments in the battle, from the Australian and South African spoiling attack in mid-July to the massive campaign that raged from June to November 1942. With four full-sized maps and over 2,100 game pieces, the level of detail is staggering, and the game's ability to simulate the ebb and flow of battle is unparalleled.
