wpengine

John Tiller Software announced today that their latest game in the Panzer Campaigns series has been released. Tunisia ’43 takes place as the tide was turning against the Germans with American pressure being applied in Morocco and Algeria and Germany still stinging from their defeat at El Alamein. The Germans arrived in Tunisia just in time to meet the advance Allied elements closing on Tunis in December of 1942. But as the weather turned the Allied advance stalled the Germans were briefly able to regain the initiative, but it was only a brief respite from the inexorable slide toward defeat.

Panzer Campaigns: Tunisia ’43 covers the three major offensives during the period from late November through May 1943:
