About this board game

Four Battles in North Africa is a two-player board game covering four games set in the Western Desert from 1941 to 1943. With an approximately 120-minute play time, it presents a focused collection of battles from a pivotal period of the North African campaign.

The game includes standard rules alongside exclusive rules for each of the four games. This structure gives every battle its own distinct place within the overall collection, while keeping them connected by a common Western Desert setting.

  • Crusader — Battle for Tobruk, November 1941
  • Cauldron — Battle of Gazala, May 1942
  • Supercharge — Battle of El Alamein, October 1942
  • Kasserine — Baptism of Fire, February 1943

These four titles span a sequence of battles across the years 1941, 1942, and 1943. From Tobruk and Gazala to El Alamein and Kasserine, Four Battles in North Africa brings together a broad chronological view of warfare in the Western Desert.

Released in 1976, the game is built for two players and offers four separate historical settings in a single package. Players can explore the standard rules and then engage with the exclusive rules associated with each individual battle.
