The Desert Fox
This board game takes the form of a military campaign simulation based on the events of the North African front during World War Two. Participants each control regiments represented by colored tiles. Players move their troops around a map-like board, with each hexagon on the map symbolizing a certain amount of distance. The player's aim is to try to defeat her opponent, with one participant taking command of the Allies while the other plays as Rommel's forces.
Triumph and Fall of the Desert Fox
This board game also focuses on the North African theater during the events of World War II, dealing with the conflict between 1940 and 1943 and involving the armies of the British, the Italians and the Germans. Players control forces represented by colored card counters and use map-sheets, divided into hexes, to monitor the action. The game itself is divided into chronological scenarios, each representing a different period of the action, such as the battle of El Alamein, or can be played in full as one campaign, which takes up to seven hours to play through.
