.AFRICA ORIENTALE STRATEGY & TACTICS MAGAZINE # 128
3W Game List
.
.Strategy And Tactics Magazine #128 w/ Africa Orientale game by 3W 1989
.
A sim of the campaign fought in the Horn of Africa in 1940-1941. The Italian player is at a disadvantage here (just like in real life) and will have to scramble to earn enough victory points to make a good account of themselves. Hexes = 32 miles. Each player controls ground and air units. Air units = 40-50 aircraft. Ground units represent divisions, brigades, regiments and battalions.

The rules use the basic Europa  system (GDW - Game Designers Workshop) as a framework, with specialized rules for details --- however this (according to the game) should not be construed as either a 3W  game nor an "official" GDW  game. Many rules were taken from War In the Desert  and Near East. Medium complexity.

Game components include : Mapsheet, 200 Counters (includes 1 blank) and Rules.

Two players. Ages 12 & up. 3W / World Wide Wargames from 1989 --- Strategy & Tactics Magazine # 128.
