## Description

Operation Battleaxe: Wavell vs. Rommel, 1941 Item is intended for adults, over the age of 18. This is not a child’s toy. Operation Battleaxe is a quick-playing depiction of the June 1941 Allied offensive in the North African desert. The Allies possess more tanks, including the “Queen of the Desert,” the Matilda, and have mastery of the air. Crossing the Egyptian border into Libya their mission is simple: destroy the Afrika Korps, and lift the siege of Tobruk! The Axis forces in the path of the Allied advance occupy well-prepared strongpoints, and lurking somewhere behind them are the German panzers – and Rommel, “The Desert Fox.” The next three days of battle will decide the course of the war in the desert for months to come. Utilizing a new and streamlined version of the “area-impulse” system players will experience the uncertainty of the desert battlefield. Each turn will contain a variable number of impulses, and both players will be challenged to determine whether it is better to attack first, or defend and then counter-attack. Having committed one’s infantry and armor to battle, artillery support may or may not be available. To win the Allied player must exploit his numerical edge in armor and artillery, plus airpower, to capture Axis positions and destroy German units. The Axis player must exploit his greater speed, operational flexibility and superior battlefield recovery, to recover lost ground and destroy Allied units. Fast, furious, and chess-like, this is a game for players who love concentrated action! Designed by: Mike Rinella The game consists of the following components: 1 - 22 x 17" full color map 88 - full color 5/8" die-cut counters 12 Page Rule Booklet 1 Resealable Bag Play Time: 2-3 Hours Solitaire Suitability: High

    A quick-playing depiction of the June 1941 Allied offensive in the North African desert
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2016*

Operation Battleaxe:  Wavell vs. Rommel, 1941 is a two-player game that simulates the Allied attempt to lift the Axis siege of the Libyan port of Tobruk, June 15 to 17, 1941.  One player commands the attacking Allied forces and the other player commands the defending Axis forces.Fast, furious, and chess-like, this is a game for players who love concentrated action! It utilizes a streamlined version of the classic "area impulse" system.An Initial Review: It sets up in minutes, plays in an hour-and-a-half, and while easy to teach, it’s by no means elementary. Both sides get the chance to attack and defend, and the asymmetry of the force pools makes it a great candidate to flip the board and play two in a single evening. A very cool game with interesting decisions, and perfect introduction to the area-impulse family—nowhere near as involved as Breakout:  Normandy and, for my money, more fun than Storm Over Arnhem. Great components and clear rules. If Take Aim Designs and Revolution Games team up to make more in this vein, I’ll be buying without hesitation.
