The Gazala Gallop (2011)

The Gazala Gallop is an Operational level board-wargame set during World War 2 in North Africa.

The Basic Game - which is the active one - uses the popular 1st Alamein/Battles for Alamein wargame system. It is regiment to division unit level, 5mis/8kms per hex, and has 14 2-day gameturns. (The Advanced Game is still there for its map, for anyone curious.)

The Afrika Korps has superior speed/maneuverability, while the British 8th Army's 2nd and 22nd Armoured Brigades (which had the notoriously unreliable Crusader tanks) are subject to the British Breakdown Rule. The American Lend-Lease Grant medium tanks are the backbone of the most powerful British unit, 7th Armoured Brigade, while Valentine and slow, plodding Matilda British infantry tanks are in the 1st and 32nd Tank Brigades.

Airpower is abstractly modeled, as in Battles for Alamein.

The Allies have the option of a non-historical deployment, but are penalized in Victory Points for utilizing it.

As historically, Allied units are slow to activate/respond, so the Axis Player must hit fast and hard to flank and/or penetrate the Allies' Gazala Line and finally take Fortress Tobruk, to win.

Rules are provided - subject to revision.

12Nov12: I've broken the German Recce Gruppee down into the 3 divisional Recce bns - three 1-1*-5s instead of just the one 2-2*-5.

And KG Hecker is now a 2-2-4 ... although maybe that should have just been a 1-2-4.
