The Italian attack on Egypt at 1940 opened a new front at the beginning of the World War II. Over the next three years north Africa’s desert became a place of many fierce battles. Joined in the action by the German troops, the Axis units got some important successes. But the Allies weren’t willing to give up the initiative and launched further counterattacks.
Most of the scenarios are short with very limited number of the units, so each regiment and each brigade are very important and even a single unit may decide on the victory or loss. A desert battlefield guarantees a lot of maneuvers with limited options of creating a static lines of defense.
