Starts with the May 1942 Axis envelopment of the line at Gazala, continues with the capture of Tobruk, the battles on the road to El Alamein, and concludes with the Second Battle of El Alamein. In order to provide some historical accuracy, when the fog of war is enabled in this game, the player's units can be damaged by their own minefields. ("There's no such thing as a friendly minefield".) The superior mobility and initiative of Afrika Korps, like the ability to form "ad hoc" kampfgruppen, is emulated by giving German units a superior command radius, which positively affects morale and supply. A scenario for Operation Herkules, a hypothetical Axis invasion of Malta, is also included as a bonus.
