Four Battles in North Africa

Modern Conquest and War Games

Four Battles in North Africa is a collection of four board wargames put out in 1976 by Simulations Publications Inc., known as SPI. Each of the four games simulates a different battle from the North African Campaign of the Second World War, so the product works as a boxed set of related simulations rather than a single game with one scenario. Gathering several battles from the same theatre under one title lets players move between engagements within a single product. The set is one of the conflict simulations that SPI issued in the 1970s, and its subject is desert warfare in the North African theatre.
