From the back of the game box: November 18th, 1941 The Libyan/Egyptian border. Two armies are preparing for desert combat - preparing for victory! But only one can win. Will it be Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps or Sir Claude Auchinleck's British 8th Army? Blowing sand and the North African sun join to blur the picture like a mirage. Only the sound of German 88s and British Matilda Tanks snap you back to life. Your army needs you! So strap on your goggles and take your place at the head of the column. The battle is engaged and only your cunning will decide the day.
