.Wargamer Magazine # 51 - Duel In The Desert game
.
 
A double-blind game of Rommel's campaigns in North Africa during 1941 & 1942 - double-blind meaning that neither player can see the map or counters of the other player. Played on a Strategic / Operational-level, the game begins with Rommel's initial breakout in Cyrenaica and continues until either the Allied Torch landings in Nov. 1942 or one side scores a decisive victory. The game sacrifices some historical accuracy in order to maintain its size but not the overall feel of the encounter. Hexes = 30 kilometers and game-turns = one month.

Game components include : 2 Mapsheets, 100 Counters (includes 3 blanks?) & Rules. Players should supply a Die & a screen of some sort to hide the two maps from each other.

Two players. Ages 12 & up. World Wide Wargames / 3W from 1986. Wargamer Magazine # 51.
