This supplement to Battleground's popular WWII skirmish game focuses on North Africa. Included are all the stats for Italian weapons and organization. The supplement also greatly expands on previously published information on the British. Some new rules are introduced for desert warfare: sandstorms, new terrain, mirages, etc. There are a number of interesting scenarios and some new heroes (including Rommel and Montgomery). Easy Eights also included charts for 1/285 scale micro armor. This is a strange thing to include in a game that is best played with a small number of units. We've played a few games using these new rules and have had a great time. This is a worthy addition to the Battleground rules and is available from ATAK Miniatures ($24.99).
