Tunisia II

Tunisia II plunges you headfirst into the Northwest Africa Campaign, spanning November 1942 to May 1943, straight from Multi-Man Publishing's acclaimed OCS (Operational Combat Series). This edition is a significant update to the classic 1995 Tunisia game, featuring a revised order of battle, enhanced rules, and brand-new maps, all designed to align with the latest versions of the OCS system. The goal here was to standardize the experience, ensuring it fits seamlessly with other series titles set in the same period, such as DAK II, Case Blue, and Sicily II, even incorporating insights from the development of Beyond the Rhine. The game's tempo is a highlight: it starts with just a few units on the field, but things quickly heat up as reinforcements pour in for both sides. You'll feel the tension build to the climax of Rommel's offensive at Kasserine and the uncertainty of Montgomery's 8th Army's arrival. Afterward, it’s the slow and inevitable destruction of Axis forces in North Africa. With two 22 x 34-inch full-color mapsheets, three dual-sided countersheets (totaling 840 pieces, including replacements for other OCS games), a 56-page OCS Series Rules v4.2 booklet, a 24-page Tunisia II specific rules booklet, two charts and tables booklets, and two six-sided dice, the game offers a robust and immersive experience. Each turn represents half a week, each hex covers 5 miles (8 km), and units range from company to brigade. It's a feast for anyone seeking a heavy wargame with impressive detail.
