Tobruk
# 841 North African tank battles WWII in minute detail. 1 split corner wear on edges. There is a first edition of this in a tan box with a print run of only 500. Numerous copies were autographed by Hal Hock.
Tobruk takes you right into the action, giving you a turret-eye view of armored combat as it really was. Every important German, British, Italian and American weapon that fought in the Western Desert during the crucial 1942 campaign is at your command.
19 different game situations are provided to enable you to re-create all facets of the decisive Gazala battle - Rommel's most spectacular victory that led directly to his most spectacular defeat at El Alamein only a few months later. Now you can re-fight all the crucial actions of those important battles on a Squad and Individual Weapon level.
Begin play almost immediately - now, through the innovative use of the Programmed Instruction method, even a novice wargamer can quickly get into the action. Each game situation has its own rules 'module'. To play the game it is only necessary to read the first short module. As skill increase, players advance to the more realistic modules at their own pace to encompass all of the subtle nuances of armored combat: tank-to-tank combat; squad-level infantry action; melee; armored overrun; armor penetration and damage; morale; gun duels; smoke; Stuka dive-bombers; forward observers; counterbattery fire; grenades; dummy guns; dust storms; accidental bombing; infantry close assault and much, much more.
Playing time : 1-8 hours. Complexity medium.-Nephilim
