Is anybody here doing the pre-order on the Afrika reprint? I noticed the P# at MMP has slowed down to a crawl. Did anyone play the original Afrika? How did it play?

It was really fun, beautiful map and fast paced, maybe too much, monthly turn were too short, I had to change to two weeks turn after a while. Strongpoint in this game is an elaborate supply system (though not as elaborate as in the OCS).

The biggest hang up for me was the random withdrawal of allied units. You could be driving on Cairo but the charts still told you withdraw two armoured brigades. I played more than one game where the allies lost all their armour in a few months to withdrawal,...those were short games.

I finally substituted the historical dates, despite what the designers explained (predictability).
