Race for Tunis - 2009 to 2011

thelh

The British Commonwealth, United States, and Free French fight Nazi Germany and Italy

for control of Tunisia

 

 

 

The setting is Tunisia in November, 1942. Allied and Axis forces battle to capture the most territory before the rains come and all movement is halted by mud and bad weather.

Our local gaming group fought the campaign as a series of individual battles over the course of a year and a half. We thank Frank Chadwick, Greg Novak, and the others who created this interested campaign for the Command Decision rule set.

The Germans and Italians gained the upper hand at the end of the fifth campaign day (November 21st), with enough victory points to earn a Minor Axis Victory. But the outcome was never certain until the very end.

Have a look at the photos of the battles, below.
