Highly rated turn-based strategy board game: Rommel & Afrika Korps
This is turn-limited version of Rommel and Afrika Korps, a turn based strategy game set on the North African theater during the Second World War. This particular campaign has fairly low number of units (faster turns) and fuel transportation element.
After the Italian forces collapse in the North Africa, German HQ sends in German reinforcements - led by the famous Desert Fox Erwin Rommel. Soon German Africa Corps (known in Germany as Deutsches Afrikakorps, or DAK) springs from assumed defensive setup to a lighting fast attack across the barren desert area. In spite of serious logistics challenges caused by the over-extended supply lines, Rommel manages to threaten the British strongholds of Cairo and Alexandria. During the North African desert campaign both sides are forced back and forth several times, but eventually the Axis supply troubles combined with Allied aerial superiority spell the end of Axis adventure in Africa.

"When a commander has won a decisive victory - and Wavell's victory over the Italians was devastating - it is generally wrong for him to be satisfied with too narrow a strategic aim. For that is the time to exploit success. It is during the pursuit, when the beaten enemy is still dispirited and disorganised, that most prisoners are made and most booty captured. Troops who on one day are flying in a wild panic to the rear, may, unless they are continually harried by the pursuer, very soon stand in battle again, freshly organised as fully effective fighting men. "
- Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (1953 Rommel Papers)
