1.0 General Rules

1.1 Map Notes

1.1a Railroads. Both sides can use the rail net for trace supply. Only the Allies have a Rail Cap (OCS 13.3a) for transporting SP and units and this can only be used in Algeria. Rail hexes in Tunisia can be used for trace supply, but not for literal transport.

"Point of Interest" hexes (locations too small to rate being called villages) are Detrainable hexes (OCS 13.3c).

1.1b Mareth Line. The pre-war Mareth Line is printed on Map B as Level 2 Hedgehogs. While these hexes can be improved to Level 3 or 4, they can never be reduced below Level 2. (Don't use actual Hedgehog markers on these hexes unless they are improved.)

1.1c Air Entry Points. Along the coast are many "Air Entry Points" (AEPs), which are hexes where air units from the Off-Map Boxes can enter the play area. An AEP lists one or more Off-Map Boxes and the number of hexes distant. A given AEP is only connected to the Off-Map Boxes listed. To move from the Off-Map Box to a given AEP (or vice versa) requires the expenditure of the listed number of hexes. Air units must have the required number of hexes of range in order to use the AEP.

Design Note: The AEP locations have been intentionally changed (from the old game) so the Axis cannot build a base within half range of Ju-52s in Sicily.

Example: The AEP in hex A47.31 says "Sicily: 38," so an air unit starting in the Sicily Box can enter the AEP's hex by expending 38 hexes of range. In reverse, an on-map air unit could return to Sicily by moving to the AEP's hex and then expend 38 range hexes.

1.1d Mountain Hexes. Mountains are represented by the two darkest shades of brown. The presence of either color makes it a Mountain Hex—there is no requirement for the darkest "mountain top" to be present.

1.1e Blocked Hexsides. A full lake or sea hexside is Prohibited for all movement classes—they are treated like a "Blocked" hexside on the TEC. (Note a partial lake or sea hexside has no effect.)

1.2 Off-Map Boxes

There are three off-map boxes: Algiers (2.3a), Tripoli (2.3b), and Sicily (3.2a). In these boxes:

• No combat or barrage is allowed.
• There are nominal HQs for rebuilds.
• There are infinite capacity ports.
• There are infinite supply dumps.

1.2a Off-Map Airfields. Abstracted air bases in off-map boxes can refit a certain number of planes per Refit Phase. This is noted in the boxes—for instance, 12 air units can refit every turn in Algiers (and this is reduced to 6 during Mud). Note there are no limits on the total number of air units that can be Active in these boxes. Movement to and from these boxes is done via Air Entry Points (see 1.1c).

Off-map air bases cannot be upgraded.

1.3 Weather

Weather will traverse through a winter rainy season and on into spring.

1.3a Roll for weather on every turn, including the first turn of a scenario.

1.3b On the Weather Determination Table roll two dice to create an "11 to 66" result (red die is the first digit, white die is the second, so a red 5 and white 3 is a 53) during the Weather Determination Segment. The result will be Flight (everything is normal), No Flight (see OCS 14.1f), or No Flight & Mud (see 1.3c).

1.3c Mud. If the current weather is Mud, players must conduct a Simulcast Turn (OCS 2.4). In addition:

• Reduce the MA of air and ground units to zero (but ground units can change modes). The only possible movement is by rail or sea transport.
• Check for trace supply. Mark units out of supply normally, but never make attrition checks during Mud.
• In a port or Entry Hex, stacking limits and rightward barrage density shifts are ignored until units have a chance to unstack.
• Construction and/or repair is not allowed (of hedgehogs, ports, etc.)
• Air bases refit at 1/2 normal rate.

Design Note: Mud effectively shut down the Tunisian Theater for about half of January 1943. The simulcast sequence is designed to get players through the Mud season as quickly as possible. The lack of attrition during Mud turns eliminates the premium which existed on placing the enemy out of supply right before a potential Mud turn (when he could do nothing about it). This was a game gimmick which had no basis in reality—so the sequence eliminates the reward for such activities. It does come with the cost of sometimes watching units live through a prolonged Mud period while cut-off. If that happens, remember the troops are not engaged in active operations at the time so their subsistence needs are minimal.

1.4 Reinforcements

There are two types of reinforcements, those obtained from the Repl Table and the ones listed on the Arrival Schedule.

1.4a Variable Repls. A player rolls on the Repl Table to check for variable arrivals during his Reinforcement Phase. Each side has a unique table. Variable Reinforcements arrive per 2.1 and 3.1.

Pax, Eq, and Air Repls. These are used per OCS 13.5. Air can rebuild 2 steps and cannot be saved. Eq cannot be used to rebuild planes.

Faction. Rebuild one combat unit and one step of aircraft for a faction (see 1.12a) randomly chosen per the note under the Repl Table.

• The combat unit can arrive at any friendly HQ (or Algiers/Sicily).
• The aircraft step can be rebuilt at any friendly air base (this includes Algiers/Sicily/Tripoli).
• Faction rebuilds cannot be saved, so will sometimes go unused.

Example: On a Faction result the Axis player rolls again and gets an "Italian." He rebuilds the destroyed 557th AG Bn (at DAK HQ, near Gabés) and recovers a weakened MC.202 to full strength (at Depienne air strip).

Special. The player can do both of the following (right away; no saving for a later turn or phase):

• Refit three Surge planes (1.7), and
• Place an Air Strip (1.11d).

1.4b Arrival Schedules. The Allied and Axis arrival charts trace the comings and goings of units during the campaign. A few unusual things to keep in mind:

Add 1 Step. These rebuild one air step of a specific faction and type, such as "LW F-Type." These cannot be saved, so if all such planes are full strength the repl is wasted.

Exchanges. Unit exchanges occur due to equipment changes. Exchanges are handled by simply removing the old counter (whatever its situation) from play and replacing it with the new one. The new unit acquires the same traits as the old unit: out of supply, exhausted internals, in strat mode, etc. There is one special case: If the old unit is in the Dead Pile, the new unit will arrive as if a normal (living) reinforcement.

Removals. Some units are called on to be "Removed" by the arrival charts. Such units are literally removed from play, regardless of their current situation (on-map, holding box, dead pile). Supply need not be expended to remove a unit that would normally need fuel to move. Some of these units will return again, some are gone for good.

1.4c Truck Removals. Any combination of Truck Points adding up to the indicated removal is fine. Any type of truck (organic, regular, or charcoal) can be removed, and they are allowed to unload first (even Organic Trucks).

1.4d Mostly Dead. The Axis has three reinforcement entries that reflect the depleted condition of Panzer Armee Afrika. Randomly choose one unit from each batch of four "mostly dead" units to arrive at Entry E. Place the rest of the units in the Dead Pile.

Example: On 1 Feb 43 four Axis arrivals are "mostly dead." The player puts the units in a cup and blindly draws out the 125th Rgt to arrive at Entry E. He places the other three units in the Dead Pile.

Design Note: We randomize the "mostly dead" for variety. Remnants of these units were all fighting in Tunisia, so these are definitely not hypothetical! The Kasserine setup reflects these survivors: the 19th Flak, Trieste's 101 Recon, and Briel Flak. Use these as fixed arrivals if you prefer.

1.5 No Stupid Entry Tricks

Destroy any unit, both air and ground, that violates the following:

• The Allies must stay at least 2 hexes away from Entry E before 15 Feb.
• The Axis must stay at least 2 hexes away from Entry E after 12 Feb.
• The Axis must always stay at least 2 hexes away from Entry A.

1.6 Trucks

Neither side can create Extenders.

1.6a Charcoal Trucks. French chain-driven charcoal truck points were used by both sides to make up for transport shortages. These trucks are identified by the French flag on the counter, as well as the unusual '10' Movement Allowance. A Charcoal Truck cannot be exchanged for a regular or organic truck.

1.6b Limited Captures. In this game only regular trucks can be captured. A wagon, charcoal truck, or organic truck cannot be captured (loaded SP is captured normally, but destroy these types of "captured" transport points).

1.6c Weird Sizes. Organic trucks come in three capacities: 6T, 4T, and 2T. To get 2T and 6T organic trucks back via Consolidation, you simply remove at least that number of trucks (can be regular and/or organic) from the map. Note a 6T truck can be used to satisfy a 1-point loss, but a 2T truck cannot.

1.6d Capture Rounding. Round the Transport losses to the nearest full point except when a 2T truck is in the hex, in which case you round to nearest 2T. Note that supply captures still round to nearest 1T.

Example: A stack of 1 regular truck point along with 2T and 6T organic trucks is overrun. A 50% result captures 1.5 trucks (we do not round further, since a 2T truck is present). The player decides to destroy the 6T organic truck (since organic trucks cannot be captured in this game). The surviving trucks are displaced.

1.7 Surge Planes

Planes with the gray crosses on them are Surge planes, and they have a few special rules:

• They must always be based at an off-map airfield.
• They can only be refit with a Special result (1.4a), which lets the player refit any three of his Inactive Surge air units (Mud does not reduce this). Surge refit does not count against the box's refit capacity.
• They can not be combined with non-Surge air units via Consolidation (OCS 13.9).

1.7a Strategic Bombers. B-17, B-24, and Wellington planes are limited to making barrages on the Facility Table. (No carpet-bombing of troops allowed!)

1.8 Ports & Shipping

Each turn players receive a Sea Cap Allowance (given in terms of SPs on the Shipping Charts). This allowance is used to move cargo (SP and ground units) between ports (both on-map and in Off-Map Boxes). See OCS 19.0f.

1.8a Dangerous Waters. The coast is divided into three zones that can be "dangerous" due to the proximity of enemy air-sea assets. Use of Sea Cap is never allowed in dangerous waters.

• Golfe de Stora/Bône. Ports on the western half of Map A are always dangerous to the Axis.
• Golfe de Tunis/Hammamet. Ports on the eastern half of Map A are always dangerous to the Allies.
• Golfe de Gabés. Ports on Map B are never dangerous to either side.

1.8b Damage Markers. Use Step Loss markers—which are not otherwise used in this game—to record port damage.

1.9 Engineers

HQs, the two US engineer regiments, and the Luftwaffe Witzig battalion are Engineer-Capable (OCS 13.8a).

1.10 Intrinsic Port Flak

The Axis has two intrinsic flak points at both Bizerte and Tunis, and one point at Sousse. The Allies have one intrinsic flak point at Bône. Intrinsic flak has no combat value or size. It is permanently destroyed when an enemy combat unit enters the hex.

1.11 Enhanced Construction

These add theater-appropriate realism.

1.11a Small Ports. The cost to repair a port (OCS 19.0d) is reduced to its current capacity if damage has reduced that capacity to under 1 SP.

Example: Damage has reduced Sousse's capacity to 1T, so a hit is repaired for 1T.

1.11b Big Hogs. An Engineer-Capable unit is needed to increase the size of a hedgehog—anything past Level-1 goes beyond what can be done by regular troops. The cost of the Big Hogs is also increased to Level + 1 (so a Level-2 costs 3 SP, a Level-3 costs 4 SP, and a Level-4 costs 5 SP). Other units can still construct Level-1 hogs (cost of 2 SP).

1.11c Hog Reduction. A hedgehog is reduced by one level when captured. Note this applies only to hedgehogs shown by counters—hogs printed on the map (1.1b) are handled normally.

1.11d Air Strips. Air Strips (see OCS 15.2) are used on a modified basis, per the following. Each side has just three of the counters, and one of them can be "placed" with a Special result (1.4a). No engineer is needed, and there is no supply cost.

• Air Strips can only be "placed" in Village and Point of Interest hexes that are in trace supply (from direct-draw or HQ-throw).
• Air Strips cannot be "placed" in a new location if planes are still based in the old location. See the Play Note for more on this.
• Air Strips can be upgraded to Air Bases, but this requires an engineer and costs the usual 3T.
• Air Strips are removed from the map (they cannot be captured) if the hex is entered by enemy combat units.

Play Note: When placing an Air Strip, a player can either move an existing Air Strip to a new location (essentially closing one landing field and then opening a new one), or bring an Air Strip back into play (after it was removed from the map due to having been upgraded to an Air Base or overrun by the enemy). Some planning and luck are involved in sequencing a shift of Air Strips to provide cover for operations like the Axis assault at Kasserine Pass. A key planning restriction to keep in mind is that an Air Strip is "stuck" if there are planes based there—if you're thinking of moving one, first either build it into a full air base or rebase the planes elsewhere!

1.12 Armies & Nationalities

1.12a Factions. The Axis consists of the German Army (Tan), Italian (Pale Green), and Luftwaffe (Light Blue). It is divided into two factions: the Italian and the German (including Luftwaffe).

The Allies are the British (Red Brown), New Zealand (Taupe), Indian (Brown), United States (Green), and Free French (Blue) units. It is divided into three factions: the American, the French, and the Commonwealth (British, Indians, and New Zealanders).

Two "French flag" infantry units are special:

• Phalange Africaine infantry battalion (II PhA, 2-4-3) was formed after Torch in Vichy and sent to Tunis late in the campaign. Treat it as part of the German faction for all purposes.
• L Force infantry brigade was politically distinct from the other French units. Treat it as part of the Commonwealth faction for all purposes.

1.12b Effects of Nationalities. Usually a player can use the forces under his command in any way he desires. The different Axis and Allied factions only have Cooperation issues when using Option 4.1.

1.12c BGs and KGs. Large regiments have been divided into a pair of units referred to as "6 BG" or "104 KG" with a "x1" or a "x2" to indicate if one or both is present. Each counter is 1 RE.

2.0 Allied Special Rules

2.1 Supply and Reinforcements

Entry A hexes and Bône (A17.26) are permanent Allied supply sources. Entry E hexes are additional supply sources after 8th Army is released (2.4a).

Note that ports do not provide trace supply, and that scenario special rules might give additional supply sources.

Per the Arrival Schedule, new combat units sometimes appear directly at an indicated Off-Map Box or Entry Area. Those without a specified entry location have the option to arrive at either Entry A or the Algiers Box.

Other new units deploy as follows:

• Air units appear Active in Algiers (unless noted otherwise).
• Pax and Eq arrive in Algiers.
• Faction Rebuilds: place the combat unit at any HQ and the air step at any air base.
• Breakout (OCS 12.8e) returns are put in any supply source hex.
• SP mostly comes from the infinite supply dumps in Algiers & Tripoli. Supply sent to the map is limited only by Allied shipping capacities (sea, air, and rail). Supply will also arrives at Entry E per 2.4b.

Example: On 15 November the Allies can ship in 1 SP by Sea Cap, another 2 SP by Rail Cap, and use their two C-47 units to each fly in 2T (their normal capacities will be doubled for a short trip). So 4 SP in all (assuming all transport used).

2.2 Algiers & Tripoli Boxes

Algiers and Tripoli have infinite supply dumps whose SP can be transported to the map. Transport Missions can fly cargo to on-map Allied airfields. Sea Cap can ship cargo to Allied ports (see 1.8). Rail Cap can rail cargo from Algiers to detrainable hexes that are connected to Entry A (per 2.2c).

2.2a Algiers. Algiers is available to the Allied player from the very beginning of the game. It acts as an entry point for some reinforcements (which can then be shipped to the map using the Allied Shipping or Rail Capacity).

2.2b Tripoli. The Allies take control of the Tripoli Box on 29 January. (Neither player can use the Tripoli Box prior to that date.)

2.2c Rail Limits. Allied Rail Cap can only be used in Algeria. Rail hexes in Tunisia can be used for trace supply, but not for literal transport.

2.3 Hip Shoots

Only the Desert Air Force (see 2.5) can make Hip Shoots.

2.4 The 8th Army's Entry

Montgomery, after his decisive victory at El Alamein, pursued Rommel during November and December across a thousand miles. Alas, the bulk of Panzerarmee Afrika was able to break loose and for a brief interval had freedom to operate in Tunisia before 8th Army arrived to threaten its southern flank. Entry of this powerful Commonwealth army is variable to make the duration of this period somewhat uncertain.

2.4a 8th Army Release. Beginning with the Allied Reinforcement Phase on 15 February, the Allied player rolls a die:

• On a 1-4, Monty fails to advance and another roll is made next turn.
• On a 5-6, the 8th Army is released. No more arrival rolls are needed.

If it hasn't occurred already, 8th Army release is automatic on 5 March (so too long a string of low rolls won't ruin the game).

2.4b 8th Army Supply. Starting when 8th Army is released, 3 SP arrives every turn at Entry E. No transport is used to place these SP on the map.

2.5 The Desert Air Force

The Desert Air Force (DAF) arrives on 29 January, when the Allies take control of the Tripoli Box. These planes are marked with a blue band, and have a few special rules:

• The DAF is in the Commonwealth faction (even the American planes).
• The DAF can make Hip Shoots.
• Consolidation (OCS 13.9) is only allowed with other DAF planes.

2.5a Restricted Use. Initially the DAF can only use the Tripoli Box air bases (its planes must always return to the Tripoli Box after a mission). The DAF is free from this basing restriction starting on 1 March.

Player Note: The basing restriction is not intended to limit the DAF missions in any other way—the planes are free to support Allied forces all over the map.

2.6 Theater Reserves

Some American tank units were held back from the war in Tunisia. These are marked with a dashed yellow stripe, and have a few special rules:

• They must stay in Algeria (on or west of the Tunisian border).
• Consolidation (OCS 13.9) is only allowed with other Theater Reserves.

The theater reserves are:

• 4-2-8 US Lt Bn (70)
• 6-2-6 US Arm Bn (752, 755, 756)

3.0 Axis Special Rules

3.1 Supply and Reinforcements

Bizerte (A44.31), Tunis (A48.24), and Sousse (A54.11) are permanent Axis supply sources. Entry E hexes are additional supply sources before the release of 8th Army (2.4a).

Note that ports do not provide trace supply, and that scenario special rules might give additional supply sources.

Per the Arrival Schedule, new combat units appear directly at an indicated Entry Area or the Sicily Box (see 3.2a).

Other arrivals deploy as follows:

• Planes appear Active in Sicily (unless noted otherwise).
• Pax and Eq arrive in Sicily Box B.
• Faction Rebuilds: place the combat unit at any HQ and the air step at any air base.
• Breakout (OCS 12.8e) returns are placed in any supply source hex.
• SP mostly comes from the infinite supply dump in Sicily. Supply sent to the map is only limited by Axis shipping capacities (sea and air).

3.2 Sicily Box

Sicily has an unlimited supply dump whose SP can be transported onto the map. Sea Cap can ship cargo to Axis ports (see 1.8); Transport Missions can fly cargo to on-map Axis airfields.

3.2a Sicily. Sicily is the primary support base and jump-off point for supplies and reinforcements.

Reinforcement Groups. Ground units appearing in Sicily are divided into two groups: "A Group" goes in Box A and "B Group" in Box B. The purpose of these boxes is to prioritize use of Axis Sea Cap: Box A must be completely empty before any Box B units can be shipped to Tunisia. (Thus a new batch of Group A units takes shipping priority over holdovers still in Box B.)

Note that Sicily Reinforcement Groups do not apply to, nor interfere with…

• shipping of SP.
• cargo selection for air transport.

Player Note: The Axis controls Tripoli until late January, but their planes can never be based in the Tripoli airfields.

3.3 Hip Shoots and Air Drops

3.3a Hip Shoots. German planes can conduct Hip Shoots; Italians cannot.

3.3b Air Drops. Note Baren, Könen, and Witzig are motorized, so cannot be transported by air.

4.0 Options & Variants

Use these to tailor the game to taste or make up for differing player abilities.

4.1 International Cooperation

Cooperation among units in each player's factions (see 1.12a) is restricted in various ways. Note that Transport Points and Reserve markers are given national colors but can be used by any of a player's units regardless of faction, as can generic units (such as SP and Eq).

4.1a Air Missions. All of a mission's planes must be from the same faction. Note the DAF is special (2.5).

4.1b Combat and Barrage. Different factions can stack and defend together without any penalty. Different factions are not allowed to participate in the same attack or barrage, however, and a barrage's "correct spotter" must be from the same faction.

4.1c Headquarters. In general, HQs can supply and rebuild units without regard to faction, but for the Allies there are important exceptions:

• American and French HQs cannot be used to supply/rebuild Commonwealth units.
• Commonwealth HQs cannot be used to supply/rebuild American and French units.

4.1d Attachments. This refines cooperation by allowing each side to attach a formation to another faction and give it "dual citizenship." Each side makes its initial attachment choice during setup, and this choice can only be changed with a Faction result (1.4a).

Only one attachment per side can be in effect at any given time, and choices are limited per the following. While attached, the units are treated as being part of both factions.

Axis:

• One Italian division can attach to the German faction.
• One German division can attach to the Italian faction.

Allies:

• One American division can attach to either the French faction or the Commonwealth faction.
• One French division can attach to the American faction.

Example: DMC is currently attached to the Americans. When the Allies get a Faction result, they can declare an end to this and instead give 9th Division dual Franco-American citizenship (allowing its units to participate in both American and French attacks/barrages).

Design Note: This rule is optional to keep the "standard version" simple and allow players to just concentrate on having fun. Experienced players are encouraged to use this option.

4.2 Uncoordinated US Air

The US had much to learn about close air support during this campaign—so much so the military's self-analysis of its lack of air coordination was the subject of several major studies. To reflect these problems, a US mission cannot have more than two planes if conducting a Barrage mission (using either table).

Cost: Shift the victory one level in the favor of the Allied player.

4.3 Fixed 8th Army Entry

Do not make the die rolls for the entry of the 8th Army. It automatically begins to arrive on 19 February.

Design Note: This is for those who want arrivals very historical and for those who feel 8th Army's arrival is too important to be decided by luck.

4.4 Amphibious Raid

The Allies can make one Amphibious Raid during the game. The raiding force must consist of one commando battalion and 3T of supply. It can embark from Bône or the Algiers Box at the end of an Allied Movement Phase; the raid must occur during the next turn's Allied Movement Phase (can only be delayed for Mud). Place the raiding force in any coastline hex anywhere on the map. The raiding unit can move 1/2 MA after landing and functions normally thereafter (the special raid rules end).

Design Note: This recreates the British landing near Bizerte. The real raid's effect was limited, but if Bizerte or Tunis is left ungarrisoned it might just win the war!

4.5 Vive la France!

This option lets the Allies ignore the removal of French units (on 12 February and 15 April) and lifts the border restriction on Allied Theater Reserves (2.6).

Cost: Shift the victory one level in the favor of the Axis player.

Design Note: Less dithering in French North Africa leads to a higher level of commitment in Tunisia.

4.6 Better Air Bridge

This option has two components:

• The Axis gets a +1 on Repl Table rolls if three full-strength Bf.109G units are permanently removed.
• The Axis has the option to spend a Surge result to get an extra point of Sea Cap (that turn only) instead of refitting the special Surge planes.

Design Note: Historically about 1/6th of all panzer deliveries to Tunisia were sunk. This option assumes it would have been possible to obtain more safe arrivals. The purpose, of course, is to get the Axis more rebuilds so that he can play with more of those Dead Pile toys that arrive with DAK. The second part of this option reflects the improved supply position that could also result.

4.7 Just A So-So Supercharge

Rommel might have escaped from Egypt with fewer losses. This option increases the "mostly dead" survival rate (1.4d). There are two variations:

• A) Two units from each batch arrive at Entry E (instead of just one).
• B) Three units from each batch arrive at Entry E (instead of just one). In addition, on 8 March those two British armored battalions arrive at Entry E (not Dead Pile).

Cost: Shift the victory one level in the favor of the Allied player.

Design Note: Kind of a fantasy, but can be roughly balanced by 4.5.

4.8 Transport Changes

Use one or both:

• Due to a shortage of rolling stock, the Allies cannot use any rail hexes south of Axx.05 (the Tebessa row) for trace supply prior to the release of 8th Army.
• Ignore all "Remove Trucks" entries on the Arrival Schedules.

Cost: None, but this favors the Axis.

Design Note: Roland wanted the RR restriction to be standard, but I decided to keep the regular game simple and make it optional. The Truck thing is more of a stretch, given the state of the Axis truck pool.

4.9 Forget Stalingrad

Players must own either Sicily II or Case Blue to explore this option. In this version of reality, Hitler decides not to assist the trapped German 6th Army and instead reinforces Tunisia II.

In Tunisia II, the following Axis units are added the arrivals on 15 January: 2 Truck Points, 2x Ju.88, 1x Bf.110, and 1x Ju.52, along with one division determined by a roll on the table below. Use either the Case Blue or the Sicily II column (not both):

Roll	Case Blue	Sicily II
1-2	7th Pz	29th PG
3-4	GD PG	Krnr KG
5-6	11th Pz	1st FJ

Cost: Shift the victory two levels in favor of the Allies.

4.10 Forget Tunisia

Tunisia II is not played, and players will need Sicily II to explore this option. Hitler resists the temptation to reinforce Tunisia and gives up on the Africa.

In Sicily II, add the US 1st Arm Div, British 6th Arm Div, and French Maroc Div to the Floating Forces Box. Roll to see which additional Axis divisions will arrive on 17 July at Reggio:

• 1-2 = 15th and 164th
• 3-4 = 21st and 334th
• 5-6 = Superga, 90th, and 999th

Cost: In Sicily II, subtract 3 VP.

4.11 Forget the Med

Tunisia II is not played, and players will need Case Blue to explore this option. Hitler resists the temptation to reinforce Tunisia and instead tries a more powerful relief of Stalingrad.

In Case Blue, the following Axis units are added to the arrivals (EatG map set) on 29 November 1942: 2x Ju.88, 2x Bf.109g, 1x Bf.110, 1x Fw.190a, 2x Ju.52, and the 10th Pz Div.

Cost: None. Just offered as a what-if to explore in Case Blue.

Design Note: Many forget that the Torch landings and the explosive disasters on the southern Eastern Front occurred concurrently. Hitler reacted to both in his usual fashion of shipping a little of the resources available to each and didn't (as usual) decide which was more important strategically. The result was two enormous disasters instead of one—Hitler pumped enough men into the Tunisian Theater to make it equivalent to Stalingrad in terms of the numbers of precious troops lost. These last three options allow the player to see for himself what differing strategic choices could (or could not) bring as results. Enjoy!

5.0 Victory

Campaign games end either with an Allied Sudden Death victory or after concluding the 29 May turn. Smaller games have victory conditions given in the scenario instructions.

Note that "Control" is given for having an Attack-Capable unit in the hex (or being the last to have had one there, if the hex is empty). Note the port hex is what counts for Tunis.

5.1 Sudden Death

On or before 15 February, the Allies win a Massive Victory if they control both Tunis and Bizerte at the end of a turn.

5.2 End of Game Conditions

• Allied Major Victory. Allies control Tunis and Bizerte.
• Allied Minor Victory. Allies control Tunis or Bizerte (but not both).
• Draw. Neither side fulfills its victory conditions.
• Axis Minor Victory. Axis controls Tunis, Bizerte, Sfax, and Mateur.
• Axis Major Victory. Axis controls Tunis, Bizerte, Mateur, Sfax, and Gafsa, plus either Tebessa or Bône.
• Axis Massive Victory. Axis controls Tunis, Bizert, Mateur, Sfax, Gafsa, Tebessa, and Bône.

Scenario Notes

a) The Axis always sets up first.

b) Each scenario specifies the first player and that player goes first on the first turn. Thereafter, use the regular initiative roll.

c) Charcoal Trucks, Organic Trucks and Mules always setup Full. This is extra/additional supply.

d) Axis listings are German unless otherwise indicated (It = Italian and LW = Luftwaffe). Allied listings are Commonwealth unless otherwise indicated (Fr = French and US = United States).

Scenario 1: Race for Tunis

This scenario deals with the early days of the Tunisian Theater. It is best used as a warm up for the campaign—players can use it to practice the speed and efficiency of their opening moves. That way players can get off to an excellent start on the full campaign.

General Information

• First Turn: 15 Nov 42
• Last Turn: 29 Dec 42
• Total Game Length: 14 turns
• First Player: Allied

Special Scenario Rules

Use Map A only.

The Allies control three ports at start: Philipeville, Bône, and Tabarka. The rest are initially under Axis control.

Victory Conditions

The Allied player wins if he occupies three of the following at the game's end:

• Medjez el Bab (A41.22)
• Mateur (A41.28)
• Djedeida (A45.26)
• Tunis (A48.24)
• Bizerte (A44.31)

Otherwise the Axis player wins.

Scenario 3: Battle for Kasserine

The short scenario deals with only the bitter contest for the control of Sidi bou Zid and the passes leading to the US 2nd Corps rear areas. It is not a good situation for the Americans—but is hardly trivial for the Axis player given the forces at his command.

Because of the layout of the game map, this scenario requires both maps. Players with limited space can easily reduce the table coverage of this one by folding both maps in half.

General Information

• Map Area: see special rules below
• First Turn: 15 Feb 43
• Last Turn: 22 Feb 43
• Total Game Length: 3 turns
• First Player: Axis

Special Scenario Rules

Only use the part of the maps bounded in the north by Axx.11 and in the south by Bxx.21 (inclusive). Note the Algiers & Sicily Off-Map Boxes are used even though they are technically outside the boundary (flight between them and the play area is allowed).

Axis supply sources are Sousse (A54.11) and Sfax (B57.30). Allied supply sources are Canrobert (A8.11), Clairefontaine (A18.11), Tadjerouine (A27.11), and Maktar (A36.11).

Sea Cap and Rail Cap cannot be used in this scenario.

During setup the German player can rebuild the "dead" panzer battalion (a 6-5-8) from either 10th, 15th, or 21st Pz. It goes with the rest of its division.

The Allies can rebuild one combat unit each turn (as if spending a Pax or Eq). It enters play by railing onto the map through either A8.11 or A18.11 (aside from this, Allied Rail Cap is zero).

Victory Conditions

The Axis player wins if he has combat units in Tebessa and at least one of the Allied supply source hexes at the end of play. The Allied player wins by occupying Tebessa at the end of play.

Scenario 4: Kasserine Campaign

This starts the campaign with the Battle of Kasserine, eliminating the warm up and mud months so players can dive right in on the meat of the action—admittedly with a situation not entirely of their making. Have fun!

General Information

• Map Area: All
• First Turn: 15 Feb 43
• Last Turn: As per 5.0
• Total Game Length: 32 turns or less
• First Player: Allies (see Design Note)

Special Scenario Rules

Use both maps.

The Allies control three ports at start: Philipeville, Bône, and Tabarka. All remaining ports are under Axis control.

Roll separately on the table below for initial damage on the ports of Bône, Bizerte, Tunis, Sousse, Sfax, and Gabés. None of the small ports begin damaged.

Roll	Damage
1-3	1 Hit
4-5	2 Hits
6	3 Hits

During setup the Axis player has the option to exchange the 190th Pz Bn (in A48.24) for a similar "dead" component of 10th, 15th, or 21st Pz. The rebuilt unit goes with the rest of its division.

Remember that checks for 8th Army Entry (3.5a) begin this turn!

Victory Conditions

As per 5.0.

Design Note: The Allies go first to give the Americans a fighting chance to avoid the historical drubbing (and then make their own mistakes later). As a variant, feel free to give it a try with the Axis going first.

Scenario 5: The Mareth Line

This small scenario examines the entry of 8th Army into the Tunisian theater. Montgomery has just entered the battle area and Rommel is preparing a sharp counterattack. After the Axis counterblow has taken its course, the 8th Army is left to reduce the Mareth Line so that it can continue to advance to the north.

General Information

• Map Area: Use the east half of Map B
• First Turn: 5 March 43
• Last Turn: 29 March 43
• Total Game Length: 8 turns
• First Player: Axis

Special Scenario Rules

Allied supply source is Entry E. Axis supply source is Sfax (B57.30).

All ports are undamaged at start.

Sea Cap is 2T for the Allies and 2 SP for the Axis.

Roll at the end of every game turn for the withdrawal of 10th Panzer Div. On a 1-3 it stays; on a 4-6 it leaves immediately (just remove them from the map) to keep an eye on the Yanks.

Victory Conditions

The Allied player wins if there are no enemy units in any of the Mareth Line hexes OR if he occupies Gabès at the game's end.

The Axis wins if the Allies do not.

Scenario 6: The End in Africa

This scenario looks at the bitter end of the Axis presence in Africa. It begins with the Axis ground forces pushed inside a tight perimeter in north-east Tunisia—it is up to the Axis player to keep his bridgehead intact for as long as possible. Impossible assignment? Yes, it is...but we know defensive specialists will really get a kick out of trying.

General Information

• Map Area: Map A, only
• First Turn: 22 April 43
• Last Turn: as per 5.0
• Total Game Length: 11 turns or less
• First Player: Allied

Special Scenario Rules

The Axis controls five ports at start: Bizerte, Ferryville, Tunis, Kelibia, and Hammamet. All other ports are initially under Allied control.

In this scenario, the port at Chebba (A61.03) can be used by the Allies (an exception to 1.8a).

RRs along the south edge of the map are extra Allied supply sources.

Roll separately on the table below for initial damage on the ports of Tunis, Bizerte, and Sousse. (Bône and the small ports all begin with no damage.)

Die	Damage

Developer Notes

(These are the "New Developer Notes." The rulebook's "Original Design Notes" — a historical/source essay by the designer — are not reproduced here.)

A straight reprint was out of the question, if only because Tunisia was originally designed back when the OCSv2 rules were fairly new. With Tunisia II we finally standardize how the game should be played with the latest rules! We also wanted to update Tunisia II to "fit" better with newer games also set in 1942-43. So some units and rules were changed to conform to DAK II, Case Blue, and Sicily. Recent work on Beyond the Rhine also factored in. The upgrade offered an opportunity to re-think a few design decisions as well. Here are some of the highlights:

Orders of Battle. A handful of the original game's counters were revised over the years, mostly due to the research of Paul Dallas. This on-going work was supplemented by myself and Roland Leblanc (who did an OB-check using recent publications). I will forever be indebted to Roland for his assistance! We provide a composite of what were sometimes fluid division assignments (not bothering with substitute units). For instance, 15th Senegalese was part of DMC as well as Oran Div, and 1st Guards and 38th Irish switched divisions at the game's mid-point.

Axis. Some units were consolidated in hopes that fewer counters would create a better simulation (by reducing the number of "shell catchers"). This also allowed me to account for the reduced state of the Afrika Korps.

• The Tunisia Assault Bn was added to the Tunisia Vol Rgt.
• The 5 Brs Bn joined the Brs Bn, making a combined MC Rgt.
• The GAF Inf Bn was added to the Savona Bn, which led to upgrading the strength of this remnant.
• The 111 and 112 Territorial Bn were combined into a new Ter Rgt.
• Parts of the Afrika Korps are shown as weakened (and some units are missing entirely). Enough counters go straight to the Dead Pile!
• Artillery was consolidated into fewer counters.
• Some unit remnants were consolidated into counters to which we gave a pseudonym. See the "*" note in Abbreviations.

American Tank Reserves. Four tank units are included that are limited to operations in Algeria, acting as a sort of an insurance policy against disaster. There were a variety of reasons they were held back: logistics, training, need to garrison the former Vichy territory, and worries over Spanish intervention. An option releases the reserves from this restriction.

French. The French in the game were in the midst of a transformation. Just a week before our game began these units were fighting the Allies; now they are fighting the Germans. Morale and equipment were spotty.

Commonwealth. 8th Army's left hook at Mareth was led by the 2nd NZ Inf Div, which had an armoured brigade attached to it. 1st Army fielded another mixed division, the 4th Inf. In both cases we decided to show the tanks as permanent attachments (and also threw in 2T of organic trucks).

The Commonwealth's corps-level guns are clumped into abstract groups, as part of a general decision to consolidate the small stuff. British 5th Corps, for instance, included six small artillery regiments that are shown by three counters: 1 FA, 5 FA, and 5 M.

AT units. Handling of anti-tank units in the game posed a similar issue. You will notice some divisions have "red" arty units—this is to show these divisions have a towed anti-tank battalion. The only AT units with actual counters are things like the German 88s and American tank destroyers. This works well overall, but one army seemed to be really short-changed by this design approach, the Commonwealth. So we decided to give them one composite towed AT unit per corps. Enough to be useful, but not an unwieldy number.

Cooperation. The factions template used in Option 4.1 was provided by Beyond the Rhine. To reflect coordinated operations, "attachments" are allowed. They show groupings like the multinational Blade Force in November.

Railroads. Only one type of railroad is shown in the new edition. Since use of Allied RR Cap is now limited to Algeria, including rules for low capacity rails would essentially have been a distinction without a real difference.

Shipping and Port Capacities. Port caps were halved to bring them into line with other OCS games. This drops the combined capacity of ports under Allied control at start to just 2 SP, so we boosted Allied Rail Cap (but limited it to Algeria). Damage to ports remains important, and even the Axis might now feel a capacity pinch at the end.

Dangerous Water. In the old game, the Allies often used the strategy of seizing a port (such as Sousse) and then supplying the raiding force by sea. This always seemed a little too easy, given the proximity of enemy air and naval forces, so we have divided the coast into three zones and do not allow Sea Cap to be used in dangerous waters.

Rebuilds. We use a variation on the "cheaper rebuilds" option—there are very few repls anyway, so why agonize over fiddly costs? Another feature of the new game is the Faction rebuild, which reduces perfect player-control and imposes an indirect limit on stockpiling of Pax and Eq.

Surge Planes. Aircraft with a primary role outside the normal mission types were placed in the Surge Pool. Some were escorting transport missions or attacking ships; some mostly flew at night. To show these roles, Surge planes have a slow refit rate.

Terrain. The TEC was brought into line with DAK 2. We also used period maps to re-work the road net and make a handful of minor terrain changes. Take note that Point of Interest hexes now prevent doubling of armor and mech—a "tactical" effect to lend them importance that is very appropriate in this campaign.

Weird Transport Points. The original game had lots and lots of organic trucks. They were scaled back a bit, and the process of refinement eventually led to the introduction of 2T and 6T sizes to show more granularity. As a result, some formations have enough organic transport to fuel the division and still have a little ammo to dole out; others don't have enough to fuel (or fight) the entire division, but that 2T can still be handy. Here is the rundown:

• 2T organic truck: HG Panzer, 90th Light, Superga, & Trieste; 4th & 2nd (NZ) Infantry.
• 4T organic truck: 10th, 15th, & 21st Panzer; 1st & 6th Armoured.
• 6T organic truck: 1st Armored; 7th Armoured.

Air Bases. As with DAK, the Tunisian theater had dozens of air strips, but not many big bases. The approach we have adopted is a compromise: it saves on counters by only marking the air strips in use (up to three per side) at any given time.

Air OBs. Here is how Roland LeBlanc's research was translated into counters:

• 320 BG (B-26). 1 Apr. [4 steps]

Design Note: U.S. groups were large, so an extra counter is added on the arrival of a second F-Type or T-Type. This also shows pilot quality increasing as time goes by. We have reduced the expected number of B-17 and B-24 counters for a different reason: they were busy bombing targets elsewhere.
