	Description Edit \| History

Part of the Battles For North Africa series (which includes Decision At Kasserine, Hellfire Pass, O'Connor's Offensive, Patton Goes to War, Objective: Tunis, and Rommel at Bay).

Based on a series of battles fought between the Axis (German / Italian / Vichy French) and Allies (British / American / Free French) in late November and early December 1942. There are 4 scenarios:

Race For The Ports (Nov 25th to 30th)
Coup Pour Coup (Blow For Blow) (Nov 25th to Dec 5th)
Alexander Eclipses Montgomery (non-historical Nov 21st to Dec 5th)
The Gods Smile On The Allies? (non-historical Nov 21st to Dec 10th)

The game is dedicated to the Jewish population of Northern Tunisia. Published in The Wargamer Magazine issue 57.
