Description
The Blitzkrieg in the West series moves to the desert with this debut title.
Gazala was a resounding victory for the Desert Fox, Irwin Rommel, although at an extremely high cost in the DAK's tanks. Because of these losses, Rommel lacked the armored forces in subsequent battles to decisively defeat the Eighth Army as it retreated into Egypt. This led directly to the end of the Afrika Korps pursuit, when they were directly defeated at the First battle of El Alamein.
Players will be challenged to do as well, or better, than their historical counterparts. Fox's Gambit represents the first in a line of operational level games in High Flying Dice Games's new Blitzkrieg in North Africa series.
