Introduction:

ASLComp AFRIKAKORPS: Hellfire Pass and Beyond is a detailed new ASLComp VARIANT that tells the story of the War in North Africa. It's about time the desert warfare goodness that was spawned by Hal Hock's seminal work TOBRUK back in 1975... was brought to the gaming tables of ASLers. And now it is, in a big way.

The eleventh portion of the set-piece is ASLComp AFRIKAKORPS: Hellfire Pass and Beyond is a mixed date set of scenarios meant to depict the battles around Sidi Rezegh, El Alamein, and Halfaya Pass. . This set of 9 scenarios brings the 22" long Escarpment Overlay into play, providing some interesting positional warfare to your wide-open desert battle gaming.

A set of 9 scenarios, all depicting actions from the exciting offensive, rife with combined-arms actions. And yes, these are aimed at playability. Slap them down, bang them out, do it again. And again. Please do a little hooting and hollering while you're at it... at least when you roll 'snakeyes' (or the other guy rolls 'boxcars').
