About the Game

User Summary

This WWII miniatures rules set is subtitled Simple Fast Play Wargame Rules for the Western Desert 1940-43. The rules cover British action in North Africa. It indeed does use a simple d6 driven resolution system and contains rules for melee, weapons fire, and morale. Game uses a centimeter scale.

From the Introduction...

"For a good part of the Second World War Britain's main contribution to the Allied cause on land was in the Western Desert of North Africa. For a long time is was the only point where Britain was in land contact with the Axis powers, fighting first against the Italians and then against the Germans and Italians.

The following rules are as simple and fast moving as I have been able to make them, they are designed for relatively large-scale actions involving fairly large numbers of figures and AFV models."

Rules set appears in Wargames Illustrated #76 (January 1994)
