The Lions of El Alamein

From BoardGameGeek:

In the summer of 1942, after the capture of Tobruk, the German-Italian forces under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel were in a strategic position to continue their advance in North Africa. The fall of Tobruk, a major Libyan port defended by British forces, was a severe blow to the British Eighth Army, which was forced to retreat rapidly eastwards towards Alexandria and the Suez Canal. Rommel, having accumulated a series of successes, intended to use the opportunity to pursue the retreating British army, aiming to defeat it definitively and take control of the Suez Canal, vital to Allied supplies. His plan was to maintain constant pressure on the British forces, who were exhausted and ill-equipped, with the aim of forcing them to retreat further. However, the situation of the Axis forces was not without its difficulties: Rommel suffered from supply problems, especially fuel, and logistics posed a significant challenge in the advance into the desert. Nevertheless, his determination to continue the pursuit and exploit the strategic momentum did not waver, and he prepared for what would become one of the decisive battles of the North African campaign: the Battle of El Alamein.
