GAZALA: The Cauldron
GAZALA: The Cauldron simulates
the mobile portions of the battle of Gazala south of Tobruk between May
27 and June 14 1942. An Axis attack was met by a furious Allied
counter-attack which then developed into a grinding battle of attrition
and maneuver that finally ended in massive Axis victory.
Alternating
random activation by formation provides player with uncertainty and
high re-playability as no two games will be alike. Each turn player
receive a varying number of activations to represent the supply levels,
command confusion, fatigue and intelligence of their armies and this
leads to an ebb and flow to the battle as each side is dominant at
different times. After units move, strengths are educed to simulate
fatigue and lack of defensive preparation making counter-attacking key
to the game. Minefields, airpower, anti-tank abilities and the armor
versus infantry conflict are all modeled in a simple and effective set
of rules.
