Afrika Korps Board Game

Description

In 1940, the doorway to the rich oil fields of the Middle East lay in the desert sands of North Africa - a doorway barred by Britain's small but professional Western Desert Force. A hastily-arranged Italian attack failed to conquer Egypt, and the German Army dispatched Erwin Rommel and the crack Afrika Korps to help. Together with their Italian allies, they sought to unlock the gateway to the east, and sieze control of the Suez Canal. Afrika Korps introduces the Origins Award nominated Panzer Grenadier system to a new theater of World War II. Players take command of platoon sized units in the struggle for control of the North African desert. Includes 50 scenarios from the desert battle of 1940 and 1941. Includes new game pieces representing German, British & Italian infantry, tanks & artillery. Afrika Korps is a stand alone addition to the Panzer Grenadier system of games.Dimensions (Overall): 2.0 inches (L) x 9.5 inches (W) x 11.75 inches (H)Suggested Age: 12 Years and UpWeight: 2.2 poundsType of Game: Strategy and war gamesCPSC Choking Hazard Warnings: Choking_hazard_small_partsNumber of Players: 2 PlayersTCIN: 76195027If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
