About the Game

A very fast and simple (but subtle) minimalist rendition of the 5 (possible) major battles around Tobruk during World War 2, Jan 41-Nov 42. Basically brigade to division to (Italian) corps level. Indeterminant time periods but 4-7 turns. Unique rules regarding armored/panzer vs. (Disrupted) infantry units, and Rommel (with a desert/fennec fox) is on the scene to chase the desert rats. Pressed Attack/Desperate Defense combat options.

Anyone - including schools and libraries - is free to print this off in A6/4"x6" or A5/5"x8" format in as many copies as you like and send them to family and friends who might be interested ... as long as you keep my copyright statement, its Dedication, and my history quotes. All other publication rights, including/especially for large, conventional boxed format are reserved to me for licensing.

It is advisable to photocopy/enlarge the front to A4/11"x17" for an optimal piece size and to A3/11"x17" for optimal map size. You can enlarge the rules as much as you need to.
