The year is 1942 and the fight for North Africa has reached
a critical junction with both sides taking the offensive. The Allies have opted
to attack along the coastal route whilst
the DAK have taken to the interior in a flanking manoeuvre.
Each turn will consist of either one day action or one night
action being taken by each side. So most turns will consist of two battles, one
being chose by each side. Commando raids always happen at night and VFV actions
can either be in the day or night time.
The aim is for each force to reach and capture the opposing
town before the other side takes their town. Towns can only be taken by
advancing your main force into the town square but this advance can be
supported by commando raids to weaken the enemies fighting strength.
No more than 2 commando raids can be launched in a row
before you need to make a VFV attack.

infrastructure item rather than attacking.
Experience & Recovery
VFV:
Recruit’s become Regular after one battle.
Regular’s become Elite after three battles.
Divisional units can never gain / lose experience levels.
Unit’s stationed in reserve regain 1 man per day with no
loss of experience.
Men in the reserve platoon can be used to fill out the ranks
of the fighting platoon but if they are of lower quality than the unit they are
joining the unit drops one experience level.
Defending armies never gain experience and never track
losses, they start as Regular each battle with the normal complement of men
(unless bolstered by reserves from the Barracks).
0200
One commando that survived a battle (even if wounded or
captured) may retain a Veteran card they have been assigned. A commando may
never have more than one card assigned.

Barracks
Each barracks has eight men who can each be assigned each
turn to either:
1). An attacking / defending VFV
force where they fill up the grey infantry slots and do not impact the units
experience rating.
2). Assigned as extra guards to a
commando raid target.
You can change this each turn and divide them amongst
multiple VFV forces / commando targets.
Airfield/Artillery Battery
Resources are limited so you must choose each turn if you are assigning these to either your attacking or defending army.
VFV battles
When you make your force selection you can choose to swap
units from the main platoon with those in the reserve platoon. Men can also be
moved from reserve sections to top up losses in heavy/special weapon teams,
these teams can also be placed in reserve to regain losses as described above.
0200 battles
You must choose your commando team from the men available on
your commando roster.
