Avalanche Press. Alamein History's Turning Point, 1942 Following the fall of Tobruk in May 1942, the Commonwealth forces in the desert struggled to reach the last real defensive position before Alexandria and halt what seemed to be an unstoppable Afrika Korps.
In a series of battles stretching from June to November 1942, they first stopped the Axis offensive and then began one of their own that shattered Erwin Rommel’s legend of invincibility and drove the Germans and Italians out of Africa. Designer Brian L. Knipple’s masterpiece is one of the largest games we’ve ever made, with four oversized maps divided into hexagons at a scale of two kilometers across each hex.
