This is the award-winning Operational Combat Series monster game DAK in a tighter, faster-playing SCS format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorth Africa trims one map that extended into Egypt from the original DAK format and cuts numerous unit counters and markers not needed in the SCS format. The game uses a unique activation system tied to Supply Units, which must be saved up to create large-scale offensives. Supply is scarce enough to make tracking easy and naturally is central to this critically important aspect of North African warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe game utilizes Leaders, Forts, Mines, Random Events, Capture Awards, Withdrawals to Far Away Lands, and The Greek Campaign. It also includes a nifty little optional Operations rule that allows players to tie their moves into a larger plan of their own making, thus giving more context to what they are doing than is normally the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach hex represents 5 miles (8 km) and a Turn is one month.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Activation represents 1-2 days of intense combat operations.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnits range in size from Companies through Divisions.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorth Africa Scenarios:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation Brevity, 1 map, 1 turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation Battleaxe, 2 maps, 1 turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation Crusader, 2 maps, 2 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGazala, 2 maps, 2 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst El Alamein, 1 map, 1 turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation Compass Campaign Start, 4 maps, 24 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Race to the Wire Campaign Start, 4 maps, 20 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation Crusader Campaign Start, 4 maps, 21 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBattle of Gazala Campaign Start, 4 maps, 7 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst El Alamein Campaign Start, 4 maps, 5 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: All four maps together measure 86x34 total setup space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContents:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSCS Series rulebook (version 1.8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorth Africa Game Specific rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorth Africa Scenario Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFour 22” x 34” full-color maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e560 Counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBox and Dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Multi-Man Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40003950805071,"sku":"MMPSCSNAAK","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/north-africa.webp?v=1652874516","url":"https:\/\/leisuregames.live\/products\/north-africa-afrika-korps-vs-desert-rats-1940-42","provider":"Leisure Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
