It was designed by Richard Berg and published by Simulations Publications , Inc. in 1978. Depth Though some fans of war simulation games appreciate detail, The Campaign for North Africa offered more detail than any board wargame before or since, leading to the ambivalent reaction with which the game is regarded. Citation needed date August 2007 Even gamers who were initially fascinated with the idea of an extremely detailed war game might have been chagrined when they opened the box to discover 1,800 counters, maps large enough to cover several tables, and a three volume rulebook of considerable weight and density. The rules cover logistics in extreme detail, far more so than the combat simulation. It is recommended that each side be played by a five person team, including a Commander In Chief and four subordinate commanders, making a total of ten players needed for a game, although it can be played with the usual two. According to SPI, a complete game can run over 1,500 hours. However, the logistics of keeping a ten person group together for fifteen hundred hours of gaming was a feat beyond even most hardcore wargamers, and completed full games of The Campaign for North Africa are rare.

  1. Land mines in North Africa

    Cleanup date October 2009 This article discusses the problem represented by landmines in North Africa, the consequent suffering of its peoples, and how the countries in the region deal with this problem. History On 10 June 1940, during World War II , Italy declared war on United Kingdom Great Britain and France . The Italians being already existing in their colonies, along with colonies native peoples, are included in this conflict. The Italians initially attacked Egypt , and the British, tied with Egyptians by the 1936 treaty, counterattacked and occupied Cyrenaica . The Italians asked for help from their German allies, and so, they entered the theatre of war in North Africa. War continued with no decisive victory until the German Italian forces has been defeated at the Second Battle of Alamein in late 1942. German Italian forces withdrew from Egypt and Libya to Tunisia . The British, with the help of Americans defeated their opponents at last on 12 May 1943. The North African campaign came to an end. However, suffering of North African s is still occurring to this day. Each combatant laid landmines to impede his enemy s progress, but after the fighting s end, none of them played a role in extracting his own mines. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the mines has not decreased over time. Burden and cost of extracting has been laid entirely on the North African countries. How much mines are still buried? No one exactly knows, but we can get some ideas from memories of Erwin Rommel commander of the German Italian forces at North Africa. He said that 80,000 mines were laid at the Buerat Line in Libya , and most of them are anti personnel mines ref The Rommel Papers, vol.5, p.650 ... II , vol.12, Orbis Publication, 1984.
