Shattered in the Battle of Alamein in late 1942, Germany's once-formidable Afrika Korps stumbled back from Egypt across Libya, to meet its end in Tunisia. Axis and Allied armies had surged back and forth across the Western Desert for just over two years, each time managing to recover from defeat and eventually stage a counter-offensive. ...could the stalemate have continued? And now we've answered with this 24-scenario supplement for the Panzer Grenadier series, complete with 130 playing pieces. Certainly each side had difficulty bringing sufficient force to bear, and both German and Italian leaders thought they could continue the war in the western desert after Alamein. Significant events would have to place in other theaters of war to allow the Italian Navy to maintain supply lines across the Mediterranean and prevent the United States from bringing its massive resources to bear. —description from the publisher
