O'Connor's Offensive

An operational scale game of combat between the Allies and Italians in the North African Desert in World War II. Uses half-day turns, 2 mile hexes, and battalion scale units on a 34x22" map. Published in The Wargamer Magazine number 41.

This was one of a series of seven games that all use a common system. The System was called "Battles for North Africa". The other games in the group were Decision At Kasserine (the original), Hellfire Pass, Rommel at Bay, Patton Goes to War, Objective: Tunis, and Race For Tunis.

The BNA series games were mostly designed by Vance von Borries. He did an earlier game whose rules bear a remarkable resemblance to BNA: Drive on Damascus. He also designed Bloody Keren which has distinct similarities too.
