The map covers from Algeria to Suez. 198 counters. The campaign game starts July, 1940 and ends June, 1943 (36 turns). The game also provides 8 shorter scenarios (from 5 to 12 turns). Though the size is small, players must carefully plan the strategy and supply, it is longer than you might first think from the component.
