What is Rommel in the Desert
Rommel in the Desert is a fast-moving, challenging, tense, and playable wargame based on the North Africa desert campaign of World War II.
This game has been enjoyed by thousands of gamers for 40 years. Experience the wargame many consider the best on the subject.
Rommel in the Desert simulates the experience of command. The real problems of generals have nothing to do with shuffling combat factors to get a perfect 3-1 attack while the enemy waits passively to be overwhelmed. Rommel gained many of his victories by employing speed, daring, and surprise.
In this game, as in the desert campaign, the events of the battlefield are often subordinate to the battle of wits and nerves between opposing commanders. A good grasp of strategy will help, but foresight, nerve, and instinct are the crucial elements of success.

Muy buen juego, más complejo de lo que aparentaba inicialmente. Muy bien pensado, y con deciones complicadas. El más denso de Columbia de los que he probado.
