Serious strategy gamers can fight through the North African battles of World War II in this 2005 release by Big Time Software. Built on the game engine that powers Combat Mission: Barbarosa to Berlin, the 3D game features tactical combat that is managed in a turn-based fashion, for precise orders and adjustments, but plays out in a real-time flow.

Players will fight their way through seven campaigns and over 140 scenarios that feature earth-shattering artillery shells, grenade impacts, and burning tank wreckage. More than 800 unit types including tanks, infantry, artillery, and planes are available as players prepare to invade Crete in May of '41, or engage enemy forces in the African desert from 1940 to 1942.

Internet, network, and email support multiplayer action, while the "Quick Battle Creator" produces war scenarios in seconds, for immediate action. A full editor is also included, so that players can create their own maps for use in various battlefield situations. ~ All Game Guide
