Product Description
"Throughout 1941, the British forces in North Africa suffered an unbroken string of humiliating defeats at the hands of Rommel's Afrika Korps. The Agheila narrows were seized, Benghazi lost, Mechilli overrun, and Tobruk surrounded. Two British counteroffensives were quickly stopped and then tumbled back into Egypt. By November, however, the British had massed the forces they believed were necessary to relieve Tobruk and destroy Rommel. Operation Crusader was ready.
Eighth Army: Operation Crusader is a battalion-regiment-brigade level game of the British Eighth Army's winter offensive against Rommel. Each hex covers 41/2 miles of ground and each turn represents one day of combat. While quick-playing, it is an extremely tense game, as both sides play on separate, identical maps of the battlefield. Thus, neither side can be certain of the enemy's position until recon patrols collide with armored spearheads. The imprudent commander may often find his British cruiser tanks blundering onto a lethal nest of 88's."
