Following upon the heels of MORSECODE..._, WEST FRONT 1940 TO 1945, (..._ represents the "V" in the morse alphabet for "Victory"), Udo Grebe GameDesign (UGG) has recently published its second offering entitled, "TRIUMPH & FALL OF THE DESERT FOX". This release covers the North African Campaign from 1940 to 1943, and represents part II of the Empires of Apocalypse Series.
Triumph & Fall... is reduced in complexity compared to MORSECODE... and serves as an easy introduction to the Empires of Apocalypse system. A two page, graphics supported Quick Start Card with all rules necessary to start the game. Each scenario can be played as a campaign game, featuring the North African front, starting at the beginning of a chosen scenario until the end of 1943.
Campaign Game, Nov. 1940
November 1940: Italy has assaulted Egypt in Sep 1940 but stopped this advance at Sidi Barani. The British gather their forces for a cunning counter attack. Will they achieve a decisive victory before Rommel interferes with his DAK? Or will there be a vigorous battle until 1943?Battleaxe, June 1941
The German DAK has counter attacked the British offensive and brought war to the doorsteps of Egypt. But, behind its back, a strong Allied garrison inside the fortress of Tobruk threatens the German supplies. Will the British öBattleaxeö crush the German lines and free the defenders of Tobruk?Crusader, Nov 1941
The DAK has successfully defended itself against öBattleaxeö. But now, supplies grow short and the British grow stronger every day ...Gazala, May 1942
The British 8th Army has established the strong Gazala Line, equipped with a clever 'in depth' defense system. Will the Axis forces overcome the British and start their run on Alexandria?El Alamein, Oct 1942
The British 8th Army stopped the Axis run on Alexandria. With Bernhard Montgomery a General took command who was able to use the materially superior British Forces effectively. In his footsteps, will you succeed to defeat the Desert Foxes, a task all other British Generals before proved to be unable to meet? Also, belonging to the 'Torch' scenario: While the DAK and the British Army are involved in a fierce battle, the Allied land in both Morocco and Algeria, opening a second front - in RommelÆs back. The East African Expansion uses a smaller map scale for the Anglo/Italian struggle in East Africa which can be combined with the Campaign game.
