As Rommels veteran Panzerarmee
withdrew into Tunisia from Libya during 1943, Axis command thought it had
a realistic chance to reverse their fortunes in Africa by skillful counter-offensive.
On Valentine's Day, the most dangerous of these began. As the Axis player,
put on Rommel's goggles and guide your mobile and highly efficient German
troops to a major victory that could change the war. As the Allied player,
take up your binoculars and assemble your powerful, yet fragile, allied
army of Americans, British, and French to decisively defeat the "Desert
Fox." You command the tanks, artillery, infantry, and aircraft that
decided this fateful battle. Kasserine features the best existing detailed Order of Battle developed from extensive research by an international team. Game units include commandos, engineers, HQs, motorcycle troops, a wide variety of tanks including Tiger tanks, the dreaded Geman 88mm flak guns, and a variety of aircraft. Experienced players will find most game mechanics to be familiar and the newcomer will find help from the many examples of play. Featured items include ranged artillery and artillery fire nets, combat coordination, defender reaction and counter-attack, and minefields. All units are also rated for efficiency. |
