This game is also by JEDKO games of Australia. It is to AFRIKA KORPS as RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN is to STALINGRAD. The physical components are of identical type with R.C. The mapboard sections are the same size but fit end-to-end instead of side-by-side. The map is printed in black, tan, blue and green and covers a larger area than the A.K. board - from Misurata to Alexandria. Terrain is completely re-evaluated and a new type, plateaux, is added.

The unit counters represent divisions and independent brigades and regiments. There are also brigade/regimental break-down counters for some of the larger divisions, such as the German panzer divis$ons. Allied counters are orangish-tan, Germans olive green and Italians are light green. A step reduction combat system is used. The effect of road movement is more like 'BULGE than AK, and strategic movement a la ANZIO, is allowed. Bengasi is a port for supply purposes but only replacements can be shipped into or out of it.

There are no supply counters, as in AK, but every unit has to be able to trace a supply line not more than 15 hexes to a road and thence to either Alexandria (Allies only), Tripoli (Axis only), Bengasi or Tobruk. Airpower is represented in a limited way by R.A.F. and Stuka counters, worth 1 factor each - the number available to each side is indicated on the Time Record Chart. There is a limit to Axis fuel supply - determined by a die roll at the start of each month (two turns = 1 month).

Every time an Axis unit uses more than 2 movement factors it costs the Axis player 1 fuel factor. Minefield counters are provided for each side. The Axis player wins if he moves 12 combat factors off the eastern edge of the board before December 1942 and keeps them in supply for 1 month. AFRICAN CAMPAIGN also sells for $11.00 and is available from the same place as RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN. It too, is a good game, though in my opinion, not as good as R.C., which is the newer of the two. Here's hoping we will be hearing more from JEDCO in the future.
