Well, it’s a little misleading, then. “Desert War” is technically applicable. Very strictly speaking. But the name implies that it covers “the Desert War” writ large. I had no idea that it was really an operational level game. Or even just a battle game. Or portion of a battle game. Given its WEGO system, that’s understandable.
It should, though, be called something more like “Battles and Engagements of the Desert War”.
I’m actually not a big fan of North Africa, so the individual battles at this scale don’t grab me. I do have more interest in the campaign possibilities though, but this isn’t that. So… meh.
