About Panzer Corps Afrika Korps
Welcome to the desert!
The year is 1941 and you will lead the German Afrika Korps, and
its Axis allies, into Libya and Tunisia during the North African
Campaign of World War II.
The reputation of the "Deutsches Afrikakorps" or "DAK" was
synonymous with that of its first commander Erwin Rommel. Now it is
up to you to overwhelm the Allied forces in North Africa, secure
the Suez Canal and take hold of the oil-rich lands of the Arabian
peninsula; maybe even invade the underbelly of the British Empire
and threaten its crown jewel: India.
Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps is an expansion for existing Panzer
Corps owners and a full stand-alone for new players. With more than
20 new units, 24 new scenarios, new dynamic and varied scenarios
and weather types, players will have their wits and tactics tested
in this turn-based strategy game of the award-winning Panzer Corps
series!
