Bravery in the Sand (2009)

International Game Series game from Multi-Man Publishing.

Bravery in the Sand is a two-player game that covers the major part of the battle known as Operation Crusader in North Africa during World War Two. Covering the period from November 20 to December 3, 1941, players assume the roles of the Axis and Commonwealth generals to determine who will be victorious in this battle.

One player controls the Commonwealth force (British, South African, New Zealand, and Indian), and the other player the Axis force (German and Italian).

Each turn represents 2 days, and each hex represents approximately 15 miles.

Players activate formations via chit draw, and combat is of the roll-to-hit variety. Includes rules for battlefield recovery, replacements, fortifications, Rommel and more.

• Rommel's Afrika Korps (Japanese edition only)

A FEW RULES CLARIFICATIONS:

You roll for recovery for each step that was lost in a battle. You don't get to recover losses that occurred in previous battles. So an eliminated unit (took two losses in that battle) would roll twice for recovery - two successes and the unit is back at full strength.

The turn can also end if you run out of chits in the cup.
