Includes Limited Edition Neoprene Mat (3″ Hexes) Rommel In The DesertColumbia Games, 2nd Edition [from the Boardgame Geek webpage]Rommel in the desert is a fast-moving, challenging, tense, and playable wargame based on the North Africa desert campaign of World War II. Rommel in the Desert has been enjoyed by thousands of gamers for over 30 years. Experience the wargame many consider the best on the subject. Visit Boardgamegeek.com for ratings and game reviews. The new edition of our classic WWII North Africa Campaign wargame contains revised rules, mapboard, and blocks with outstanding artwork. Plays in 3-8 hours. Rommel in the Desert simulates the experience of command. The real problems of generals have nothing to do with shuffling combat factors to get a perfect 3-1 attack while the enemy waits passively to be overwhelmed. Rommel gained many of his victories by employing speed, daring, and surprise. In this game, as in the desert campaign, the events of the battlefield are often subordinate to the battle of wits and nerves between opposing commanders. A good grasp of strategy will help, but foresight, nerve, and instinct are the crucial elements of success. This title uses Columbia Games Block system. While there are variations in the rule sets for each of their games none the less all of their games are based on block system. Basically this means that rather than the traditional use of counters to represent units on the map the game instead uses wooden blocks that stand upright and with unit details only shown on one side of the blocks. This does two things: First it provides an easy way of producing a “fog of war” because your opponent can not tell, save through good memory, what type of unit a specific piece is and its current strength. Second, by having the blocks stand on end it provides a way to keep track of a units strength by rotating the block so the current strength is the top number. Most war games have some type of mechanism that lets units take steps in their overall strength. Counters normally have at most two steps because of they only have two sides, however blocks have four and so now you can easily keep track of twice the amount of detail that many other war games provide. With the use of blocks Columbia has provided a way of adding a good deal of depth to their war games without adding further complex layers of bookkeeping and thus allow for interesting and relatively short sessions of play.—————— New, un-played 2nd Deluxe Edition with Optional Neoprene mat with HUGE, oversized 3″ hexes!

Please note this must ship in 2 packages due to the giant neoprene mat that will require a separate shipping tube. Also please note I only charge shipping at cost, there are no “handling fees”; if the postage is incorrect you will be refunded the difference. If you are international/APO/etc (and *really* want this) message me with your address and I can quote you shipping (sorry, but shipping rates have gone insane since COVID and there is nothing I can do about that). The Retail price on the mat was $100 via the kickstarter alone. NOTE Regarding Map/Kickstarter: Printing mistakes were found with the first printing of the kickstarter, this is the revised/corrected version that took over a year to arrive. 🙁 Only 2 left!! The game is currently listed on the Columbia site for $89.99, the neoprene mat is listed for $149.99. Simple math makes this a “$239.98 value”. 🙂
