Campaigns are larger thought problems--one should not restrict the player to the accepted historical path. Provide the player the opportunity to dance within the operational environment. That's a big map.

Status: offline 		There might be a board-game or two or three on the topic. Can't say I can name any of them. TSWW covers the whole lot in their Mare Nostrum game:

Nice game for a VERY pretty penny. I have the Quartermaster [digital] edition which costs alot less. Someday I hope to play it.

I've looked at my resources and I think with two additions, this would be possible--and provide interesting game play.

As mentioned there are a few board games and Hearts of Iron IV do an interesting take on it. Alan Moorhead also covers it in his classic 1st hand account of The Desert War....but that's not a game. It's a book.

Status: offline 		Yes, Alan Moorehead is a good addition to anyone's North/East/West African WW2 library. I'm looking at purchasing these books:

* The First Victory: The Second World War and the East Africa Campaign by Andrew Stewart
* Air War in East Africa 1940-41: The RAF Versus the Italian Air Force by Jon Sutherland and Diane Canwell
