| PANZER GRENADIER : AFRIKA KORPS produced by Avalanche Press. AFRIKA KORPS, The Desert War is a stand alone game of platoon level combat set within WW2 and is also part of the PANZER GRENADIER game system. In 1940, the doorway to the rich oil fields of the Middle East lay in the desert sands of North Africa - a doorway barred by the mighty British 8th Army, a.k.a The Desert Rats, led by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. Germany’s key to success lay in the charismatic leadership of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and the Deutsches Afrika Korps. Together with their Italian allies, they sought to unlock the gateway to the east, and seize control of the Suez Canal.
